Trigger pattern
 
Hey.

Im trying to fetch a number of digits from this line in the MUD

[Bank]: You deposit [2038] gold into your account after taxing.

I want to get the deposited gold 2038 and store in into a variable. The problem i got is that i can't
make the trigger understand that the digits is inside of [], ive tryed for example %x&GOLD%x but
this only gets the 8 from all the four digits. And i realised that %x just wont work.

Appriate any help!

All you need to do is precede the brackets with ~. That will force the parser to treat it as a literal bracket. The following pattern will work:
Code:
~[Bank~]: You deposit ~[(%d)~] gold into your account after taxing.
