^You are level * and *% of the way to the next level.$


Any idea what I'm doing wrong? (Regular Expression is checked)

Yeah, it's the mixture of basic patterns and regular expressions again. * alone is a basic pattern symbol for a match. In a regular expression it means something totally different ("zero or more of the character before this one").

^You are level \d+ \([^)]+\) and \d+(?:\.\d+)?% of the way to the next level\.$

Internally the basic-pattern * is converted to (.*?), but that's not always (read: rarely) optimal, so I took the liberty of making it match more exactly. \d means "a digit", and the + after it means "one or more". The bit after that matches anything in parentheses that isn't an end parenthesis, and then I match the experience (making the fractional part optional). I also escaped the .'s because . means "any character" in regexp.

You might want to check out a tutorial on regular expressions. They're pretty easy to understand once you've learned a bit of the syntax.

[EDIT]: Also, congratulations on levelling up since you started the thread. ;)

Woowoo! Matches. Now, one last question... What %# do I use to capture the percentage? ^_^;

EDIT: Regarding the level, thanks! It was a by-product of bashing things trying to get the triggers to work ;)

OOPS. I just edited my original post instead of quoting it! XD Luckily I could go back in my history and fish out the original... anyways, my response is below.

^You are level \d+ \([^)]+\) and (\d+(?:\.\d+)?)% of the way to the next level\.$


You can add parentheses around a piece of the expression to capture it. I bolded/underlined the changed part.

So do I then use %1, or just Send To Variable? (Sorry if I'm a bit dense at times :P)

"Send to" just tells MUSHclient what you want to do with the Send box. If it were set to "Variable", the contents of the Send box would be put in a variable. ;) You want Send to Script, using %1 in it for the capture.
