| i have a trigger to respond to a message:
*** Example! (message) ***
Send: nobletalk blah blah
i tried ^*** Example! (message) ***$ and I got an error, so I put backslashes in: ^\*\*\* Example! (message) \*\*\*$
Nothing happens..
Are the parentheses or exclaimation marks causing this? Or is the * off? |

| | as I understand, the \* is supposed to work? That's what help files and the forum says, but it's not working |

| Yes.
The ONLY way to match an asterisk is with a regular expression. Which is a more powerful form of trigger. \ is an escape character, because in a regexp, * is something that means something.
so \* tells the regexp engine to not think of * as instructions, but as simple characters instead.
So youll need to have "regular expression" checked to use it.
Try...
^\*\*\* Example\! \(message\) \*\*\*$
Regexps are EXTREMELY fickle, you might have leading (or trailing) spaces or perhaps a second space in between message and the next asterisks, and that will throw off your trigger. |
