Im finding a little trouble with If statements and multiple wildcards.

For instance, i wish to pickup on the following pattern:
[51 Human Pri] [ Pirates ] (WANTED) mofoplay'er

so i use the following trigger
~[*~] ~[ ~P~i~r~a~t~e~s ~] ~(~W~A~N~T~E~D~) (%w~'%w)

which operates correctly, and colors thier name fine.

but when i use an if statement with a large OR expression, it does not seem to pick up things correctly.

I am tring to surpass the surname, and highlight only the charactors name, although not all players have surnames.

[51 Human Pri] [ Pirates ] (WANTED) Novitiate Tanoth,

use pattern:
~[*~] ~[ ~P~i~r~a~t~e~s ~] ~(~W~A~N~T~E~D~) (%w) (%w)

with this command:
#if (%1 != 'Novitiate' | 'Deacon' | 'Bishop' | 'Abbott' | 'Monsignor' | 'Cardinal')
#trigger {%1} {#cw 6} pk_names_active
#trigger {%2} {#cw 6} pk_names_active

now i threw #echo's in there and the variables do get picked up right, although the OR expression is always failing.

should i put both expressions in parens? (%1) != ('nov' | 'bish') ect?

Just just want the player's last name and
not titles etc?

#VAR activepk {} {}

#TIRRGER {^~[*~] ~[ ~P~i~r~a~t~e~s ~] ~(~W~A~N~T~E~D~) (%*)$} {#ADDITEM activepk %word(%1,%numwords(%1))}

#TRIGGER {{activepk}} {#CW 6}

Btw if you have a player name like "mofoplay'er" you would need to match it with %x vs %w

There's no need to use the ~ in front of everything. The various patterns would work just as well if they were
~[*~] ~[ Pirates ~] ~(WANTED~) (%w~'%w)
~[*~] ~[ Pirates ~] ~(WANTED~) (%w) (%w)
#TRIGGER {^~[*~] ~[ Pirates ~] ~(WANTED~) (%*)$} {#ADDITEM activepk %word(%1,%numwords(%1))}

In making a stringlist, it's the list that needs to be in "'s or {}, not the individual items in the list. The %ismember function is the usual method for determining if a particular string is included in a list.
#IF (!(%ismember(%1,"Novitiate|Deacon|Bishop|Abbott|Monsignor|Cardinal")))
