ok .. the line from the mud looks like this

Object 'a stone ring', Item type: OTHER

my trigger looks like this
Object '&stuff.Name' , Item type:

but stuff.name always comes up blank...
I know it's the ' character causing the problems, but I can't get around it.

thanks for the help

You could either quote the ' characters by putting ~ before them, making your pattern

Object ~'&stuff.Name~', Item type:

or you could use a wildcard and assign the variable yourself

#trig {Object ~'(*)~', Item type:} {stuff.Name = %1}

And for future reference, make sure you don't add spaces to your pattern where there aren't any in the text.

In the pattern you have in your post, you have a space inbetween the ' and the , but there isn't one in

Object 'a stone ring', Item type: OTHER

that's all.
