OK, so I've got two scripts, one that places city enemies into a variable, and one that highlights names, as follows

#trig {Enemies of the City of %w:} {CityEnemies=""}
#cond {(*)} {#forall %replace(%1,", ","|") {#additem CityEnemies %i}}

#TR {{@CityEnemies}} {#CW bold,red}

The problem is that it not only highlights the enemy names, it also highlights any part of a word which contains a full enemyname.

I.E. I have an enemy named Pip, and another named Ani, so I will see things such asPipeline and Maniac which really makes playing the game confusing, as I only want the actual names of these people to be highlighted, and not portions of other words which happen to contain the names. Please let me know how I can fix this, thanks everyone!

Yeah, you need to use %q when Zscript or \b when Regex (both go for word boundary)

You need be careful if this list gets very big as well because it'll be very slow indeed. You may want to look into using a patricia tree to speed it up.
