okay, two little porblems that are most likely quite simple but doin't know how to do this.

First, I'm trying to capture the wiz channel into a seperate window. Now, usually on channels, you can capture them easily because they all have a special format "Joe gossips, "blah blah blah"" However the wiz channel just has "Joe : blah blah blah" I've been kinda doing this so far with just the " : " trigger but this captures all sorts of other junk as well. I was thinking if there was a wildcard linda like the & command which would be something like &3-7 meaning if the text before the ":" was anywhere from 3 chars to 7 chars then the trigger would work. This would make it so that almost all names fit into that catagory and jut out a lot of the other junk I'm capturing.

Also, is there a way to triiger on only a color of text. Like it says "You see an apple." but I only want it to trigger if it says that in red, not green, blue to yellow. Any command for that?

You can do the first very easily with a regex:

\w{3,7} :

Specifies a : preceded by a space and 3-7 word characters (a-zA-Z0-9. You could use [a-zA-Z] instead of \w if you want).

There are two ways to do colour. The first is with the line colour option, where you pick the colour of the line and the trigger only fires if the line is that colour. The whole line needs to be the specified colour for that to work.

For more complex colours, if you copy the coloured text, check the ANSI trigger option, and then paste it into the pattern box, zMUD will rebuild the colour codes for you in the pattern. That lets you create a pattern that matches whatever colours you like.

Yep. Zugg couldn't really provide all the regex options with his own patterns, because if he did that he might as well just provide the regex engine. Which is what he did :)
