| I think there are similar questions around in the forum, but to answer quickly you need to use a regular expression because you want to match an asterisk. Something like this:
Trigger: ^You see tracks of \*(.*?)\* leading (.*?) from here\.$
Send: gtell *%1* %2
Regular expression: checked

| i tried it, but it didn't seem to work. Could a prompt before it mess it up? heres what i'm askin about, this is what i see during hunt:
< 4075hp 967m 332mv 2393Tnl > You see tracks of *Duke Lerenz* leading west from here.
would that < 4075hp 967m 332mv 2393Tnl > mess with it? | | Top |

| Yup, because in a real expression, the ^ indicates start of line... Try:
Trigger: ^(.*?)You see tracks of \*(.*?)\* leading (.*?) from here\.$
Send: gtell *%2* %3
Regular expression: checked
Now the first wildcard will be your prompt, the second is the character, and the third the direction. |

Message Ah yes, I thought that might come up next! :)
In this case, you will need to use regular expressions, because the one thing you can't match on in regular wildcards is an asterisk.
I would match on:
Trigger: You see tracks of \*(.*)\* leading (.*)
Regular Expression: checked
The "\*" "escapes" an asterisk so it just matches an asterisk, and the "(.*)" means "any number of any character". The parentheses mean "save this as a wildcard", so you could send, for instance:
gtell %1 has gone %2
Thanks Again
