| I have a trigger match line set up as "^*\s\s*\s\s*\s\s\d$" without quotes and for some reason it's not picking up what I'm trying to pick up with it:
Coruscant Coruscant Sector The Galactic Republic 100.0
Kashyyyk Mytaranor Sector Neutral Government 100.0
Lorrd Kanz Sector The Galactic Republic 100.0
Corellia Corellian System The Galactic Republic 100.0
Korriban Horuset System The Sith Empire 100.0
Tatooine Tatoo System The Sith Empire 100.0
Wroona Wroona System Neutral Government 100.0
Arkania Perave System The Sith Empire 100.0
Ryloth Ryloth System The Sith Empire 100.0
Dantooine Raioballo Sector Neutral Government 100.0
Alderaan Alderaan System The Galactic Republic 100.0
Nal Hutta Hutt Space Neutral Government 3.0
Ziost Ziost System Neutral Government 100.0
I can't see where I'm doing it wrong |

| Hmm...
This literally means "Zero or more start-of-string positions, a space, zero or more spaces, a space, zero or more spaces, a space, another space, and a digit, followed by the end-of-string position. In other words, you're matching a string with at least four spaces plus a single digit. That's not what you want.
The problem is that you're mixing the non-regex pattern's * capture into a regular expression, where * mean's a totally different thing ("zero or more"). What you really want is this:
^[A-Za-z]+\s+[A-Za-z ]+\s+[A-Za-z ]+\s+(\d+\.\d+)$
This is a lot more verbose (clearly), but it should match the example lines given. I had to use (\d+\.\d+) to match the number at the end, because \d only matches a digit (0 through 9).
[EDIT]: Alternatively, if you can be certain that this trigger will only be active when these lines are being processed, you can use the far simpler (\d+\.\d+)$ |

You don't have that, because it is not a valid regular expression, it won't accept it:
Nothing to repeat.
^*\s\s*\s\s*\s\s\d$
^
Error occurred at column 2.
So maybe you don't have regular expressions ticked? In which case that explains a lot. |

| Twisol's match line works but I'll need to pull the information in to variables:
Planet Starsystem Governed By Popular Support
Coruscant Coruscant Sector The Galactic Republic 100.0
I need to get the planet, starsystem, governed and popular support.
also there's a line in the beginning of the output and in the end of the output that I can use to enable and disable the trigger...
so how can I get it to work with wildcards?
EDIT: that came out very confusing, so I'm trying to get everything from under the different columns to (after running them through a string.gsub to kill spaces) tables |

| ()'s around what you want to capture:
^([A-Za-z]+)\s+([A-Za-z ]+)\s+([A-Za-z ]+)\s+(\d+\.\d+)$
As for the begin/end lines, I'm guessing they're pretty much static, so you can use a non-regex trigger and paste the whole line in.
Planet Starsystem Governed By Popular Support
