Match [fire off of] any and all lines. Including blank lines.
 
How? reparse? I'm trying to make a conditional trigger.

This is a cmud example:
Code:
#trigger "tNameHighlight" {^The following players are near you:$} {}
#condition {(*)} {
  #if (%1 != "") {
    //this is not a blank line
    #cw [b]color to highlight[/b]
  } {
    //this is a blank line
    #state tNameHighlight 0
  }
} {manual}

http://forums.zuggsoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34848

Currently using another trigger (fires on blank) to reset the #state of this condition trigger. I had wanted to use loopexp %line!=%null, in short.

try !%null(%line) or %len(%line)=0

Hmm. I think I worded this wrong. My problem is I can't find a pattern that matches any and blank lines... at the same time.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try those if I can get a pattern to fire.

$ fires only on blank lines (for me anyway). Also, IIRC, conditions have to use ^$ to fire off blank lines.
Code:
#TRIGGER {$} {#echo .%line} "Test"

The fundamental issue is that * translates into two different regex patterns, depending on how exactly you're using zscript *. I forget in which cases this occurs, but one case translates to 1 or more characters of any type while the other translates to 0 or more.

If we had an example, you potentially could have a solution that doesn't need to worry about the blank line or even of any prompt/non-blank line that comes after.

Anyway I can use the 0 or more characters wildcard?
Anyway..
Code:
#CLASS {Skills}
#ALIAS help {#if (%-1 = "classes") {#state skills_cond 0;#t+ "skills_cond";~help %-1}}
#VAR skillsLine {}
#VAR class {}
#VAR classes {}
#TRIGGER "Skills_blankline" {$} {#STATE skills_cond 1;#t- "Skills_blankline"} "" {notrig|disable}
#TRIGGER "skills_cond" {^CLASSES$} {#var Skills/classes {}} "" {disable}
#COND {^({Warrior|Cleric|Mage|Druid|Thief})-$} {#var Skills/class {%1};#t+ "Skills_blankline";#state skills_cond 2} {disable}
#COND {^(%w)} {#var Skills/skillsLine {%replace( %replace( %line, ", ", |), ",", "")};#DELI Skills/skillsLine %null;#pri {#class Skills};#pri {#FORALL @Skills/skillsLine {#addkey classes {%i} {@class}}};#pri {#class 0}} {manual|disable}
#CLASS 0


Still working on other parts of it.

How do you simply and concisely capture a 'block of text'?
And perhaps someone can explain to me why %crlf doesn't match a blank line? Thanks.

*Well, I've tried a bunch of regex stuff. Would be nice to match any line, tho not necessary. I'm keeping an eye on this thread. I personally think zmud cannot do it.
