How do I access wildcards from triggers?

now this is just an example.. i just need to know what the variable for mush is... example: Texas says ' spank me!' and i would spank him.. then if someone else said it , I would spank them also , without having seprate triggers for both people...

basically all I need to know is what the variables are and how to incorparate them into triggers...

if you want to match a trigger to anyone that can possibly match it, use * for the part that you need to match. Ill use your spanking example to help you out with....

trigger: * says 'spank me!'
action: spank %1

Nice, simple and straight forward for the most part

well , i do that and I get an error message

::: Failed:nothing to repeat at offset 0::: what's that mean?

The example given is not a regular expression. Uncheck the "regular expression" box.
