I would like to match a line based on its colour.

Some generic text two words some random text.

This is how I tried to do it:

1. Create a filter head with the pattern: ^Some generic text (\w+\s\w+)
(right terminology? I created a trigger group and gave it the above pattern.)
2. I checked "filter"
3. I created a trigger inside this trigger group, and changed state 0 to type to "colour trigger"
4. I selected a red foreground and black background.
5. I populated state 0 with the pattern: (\w+\s\w+) and selected type: perl regex
6. I put echo("success") in the script.

This trigger fires, seemingly correctly.
However, if I change the foreground colour to something else, such as yellow or blue, it still fires.
What am I doing wrong?

I worked out half of this problem.
All I needed to do was check "match all occurrences".

However, there is still more. I decided to play around with the 'filter' option.

The filter option passes the part of the line that matched the pattern, to the next trigger in the filter chain.

Is it possible to pass only the contents of matches[n] to the next trigger in the chain?

No, but there's several Lua functions to test for ansi colors so pretty much any scripting need should be covered.

Maybe you can stick that into a lua trigger pattern.
