| | The easiest and most effective way is to make your triggers more precise. If you know the punctualtion will always be at the beginning or end of a line, modify the trigger to include the punctuation. |

| Click on "convert to regular expression". For your example that gives this:
^(.*?) the (.*?) (.*?) has just left$
Then you can make it more precise. For example an optional thing like *> could be added at the start:
^(?:\*\>)?(.*?) the (.*?) (.*?) has just left$
The extra bit I added (in bold) looks for 0 or 1 occurrence of *>. I "escaped" them with a backslash because the * (at least) has a special meaning in regular expressions. The ?: at the start says to not make it a wildcard (so wildcard %1 is still the same thing).
