Ok Chrio. Thanks again. Those examples did in fact help. I had set up a trigger to eat/drink when I'm hungry/thirsty and it was bugging me that when sleeping, it would trigger and try to run the script when I wasn't awake. I made 2 more triggers for sleep and awake and set variables accordingly. The...

Thanks Chrio. I tested it out this morning and it was working like a charm. I even made one for HP (\d+)\(/d+) MP to report my mana. Then I was feeling ambitious and used said mana variables in a practice trigger that uses offensive spells only if I'm over 50% mana. Then I made an alias that convert...

It's been a while, so I don't remember every issue I had... I know originally I had [Name] #/# HP and it wouldn't read the number with anything I tried. I changed it to .* and it got the name and number, so I moved the name elsewhere and left the code alone. I suppose in hindsight, I needed an escap...

I wasn't using the $ because there is indeed more after the HP. In order to capture the 123/456 though, it requires a perl string, right? Is that why I had to use (.*) because it should have been (\d+)/\(\d+) HP?

As you are not interested in capturing whatever \w+ matches ("Name") you don't put it in parenthesise...! If you did you'd have to change the indexes for matches[...] in the script. For testing purposes, I was just changing the text color with the script. The <> were giving me issues, but...

Perl regex pattern: ^<\w+><(\d+)/(\d+) HP$

Interesting. In this instance, the \w+ doesn't need to be in parenthesis? I tried something similar, but had it in parenthesis and it wasn't working. I imagine that's why?

I convinced her to change it to Name ###/### HP and that works just fine.

Any idea how to get a trigger for HP with <Name><###/### HP?
My wife is stubborn and I haven't been able to get it to register...

Ok, well I used a combination of stuff to get it how I have it now.

Thanks again guys. I doubt I'd ever have been able to figure ANY of this out without your help!
