Why won't this trigger work?

I can't figure out why this simple enough trigger won't fire. I use quite a few triggers during battles but this is the only one that won't work.

If I fall down while trying to bash a mob, I want to stand up.

<trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="As * avoids your bash, you topple over and fall to the ground!"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>stand</send>
  </trigger>

This is the debug I did during one fight.

I don't see any colour codes or anything so I'm at a loss. It's not that the mud won't let me stand up during a fight, I can, I have to manually do it. I have another trigger that makes me stand after I've been bashed that works fine, it's just this one that doesn't fire.

try...

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^As (.+) avoids your bash\, you topple over and fall to the ground\!$"
   regexp="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>stand</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

As an aside... color codes won't come into play here unless you are trying to match on a specific color.

I also took the liberty of putting in some regular expressions so as to not allow other players to screw with you...
^ marks the beginning of a line
$ marks the end of a line
\ is the escape character

(.+) will match on one or more of any character.

Hmm, tried it, trigger still won't fire.

There is a space after "ground!" - see the hex 20 in the packet debug before the carriage return. That is a space.

Wow, good eye.

I added a space between ! and $ and it works perfectly.

As Awolyn the tavernkeeper avoids your bash, you topple over and fall to the ground!

You stand up.

Thanks everyone.
