Needing a little help with a trigger, please.

My Mud Output is:

You noticeGSL
a black hawkGSM
, a wooden barrel and a floating dais.
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest.

GSL means start highlight, GSM means stop.

I want it to look like...

[Ta'Illistim, Shimmarglin Court]
You notice a black hawk, a wooden barrel and a floating dais.
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest.

I have achieved this using the following trigger:

#TRIGGER {^(%*)GSL$(%*)GSM$} {#GAG -1;#SUB {%1%ansi( yellow)%2%ansi( default)}}

This works fine for 1 thing in the room that needs highlighting, however if there is more than 1 thing in the room that requires highlighting, although the formatting is correct, only the last thing gets highlighted.

Any help please?

Thanks for trying LightBulb, but that code highlighted the GSM bit only, and didn't format it as I wanted.

Any other ideas?

Try making it a trigger on a trigger, to get it to recompute for each GSL/GSM combination. Else you'll have to extract the entire text and work through it.

Otherwise, give an example of a room with two highlighted objects, please.

Similar to the first one, with new lines and such....

a white catGSM
andGSL
a sleek golden ferretGSM
(prone).
Obvious paths: north, east, west.

This should of course look like....
