Spawning to Notepad

For some reason, I can't send certain things to notepad.

In my trigger, it reads:

^\[Centipede\]

And then %0 in the send window. It's selected to send to notepad(Append).

What am I doing wrong?

Oh, the output I get normally is:

[Centipede} (Name)> Blah blah blah
or
[Centipede] * (Name) does something on the channel.

Thanks for your help.

Your first example output:

[Centipede} (Name)> Blah blah blah

will not match because it has a brace "}" in it instead of "]", or is that a misprint?

Can you paste a few lines that:

* match
* don't match

so we can see what the problem is.

[Centipede] * Karena gahs.
[Centipede] Davin> Eh?

These are examples of how the channel looks. The first is a channel-wide emote, the second is a channel say.

The } was a misprint, by the way.

Do you have "regular expression" checked?

Also try doing nothing but highlighting the line, to see if the trigger is matching at all.
Assuming you do have Regular Expressions checked, you most likely have some whitespace somewhere which is causing the trigger to not match. You can try highlighting over the line with your cursor to see any spaces you mightve previously overlooked.

Never mind. I found a way to get what I need. Just looked around in the "fun with triggers" section long enough until it clicked.

Thanks for the help!!
