I'm not sure how to make a trigger that will capture multiple lines at once.

I'm trying to make a database of Identified items, but since the format is like this:

Use a multistate trigger rather than a multiline trigger. Something like this perhaps:

#trig {Object: ([a-z ]) %s Type: (%w)} {do whatever}
#cond {Flags: ([a-z ])} {do whatever}
#cond {Weight: (%d) %s Value: (%d) %s Level: (%d)} {do whatever}

This creates a single trigger with three states. The first state is active to begin - once it's matched, the second state becomes active and the first state is no longer matched. Once 2 matches, 3 is active. Then it loops round. So if any of the lines are optional, this approach won't work, but if they're not, you're good.
