I get the following when I identify a sroll or wand:Item: 'papers treatise pact'
Weight: 2 Typical cost: 3244 Level: 20 (very uncommon)
Type: SCROLL Composition: NONE
Wear locations are: HELD
Item has level 25 spells of:
peace
This is the part that I need to capture into my 'spell_affects' field:Item has level 25 spells of:
peace
More or less just where it says 'peace', but I figure the previous line is what would trigger that, not sure... I can get all the rest just fine. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Do the spells appear all in one line after the other line or do they each appear on its own line? If the former is true, then this pattern should work:
^Item has level %d spells of:$(*)$

Well, I have an item such as this that has every spell on a line following the last:

Item: 'potion travel teleport tele port'


Weight: 3  Typical cost: 15165  


Object is: 


Type: POTION   Composition: WET_ORGANIC


Item has level 25 spells of:


teleport


teleport


teleport


teleport


teleport

Is there a way to capture all of those? And it's not always the same spell listed, sometimes it might be 2 teleports and a 3 strength in a potion, for example.

Thanks,

Start capturing when you see the line "Item has level..." and stop capturing when you see a blank line.

Is a blank line considered '%null'? Cause I've made the following two triggers that I thought *should* capture this information from my id:

Item: 'potion travel teleport tele port'


Weight: 3  Typical cost: 15165  


Object is: 


Type: POTION   Composition: WET_ORGANIC


Item has level 25 spells of:


teleport


teleport


teleport


teleport


teleport

until a blank line, where it would write the record, though it's not doing anything for me:

#TRIGGER {^Item has level %d spells of:$} {#T+ ih_temp}


#TRIGGER "ih_temp" {^(*)$} {#IF (%1=%null) {#NEW All @eq;#VAR DBItemName %null;#T- ih_temp} {@eq.spell_affects=%if( @eq.spell_affects=%null, %1, @eq.spell_affects -- %1)}}

If a blank line would be '%null', I don't see why this wouldn't work...hmm. Any more ideas or know what I did wrong?

Thanks,

Technically, a blank line isn't a null line, but since ZMud uses the carriage return strictly as an unchangeable boundary between lines there's nothing left for ZMud to process.

This means that even the %* and * wildcards will not have anything to match them, which is why your trigger isn't working.

A blank line can be matched with a pattern of ^$ ($ works by itself, but I don't know if it only matches blank lines or just matches the end of a non-prompt line).
