Couldn't find anywhere answer, so decided to ask.

I've got two lists:

@varFraglist {name1|name2|name3}
@varFraglistreason {reason1|reason2|reason3}

And i got trigger:

<trigger priority="7960" id="796">
<pattern>{@varFraglist}</pattern>
<value>#cw red;
#sh Reason for frag: %item(@varFraglistreason,%ismember(%1,@varFraglist));</value>
</trigger>

There's a %1 in trigger, so second line doesn't work. The purpose of this trigger is to change color of player, and notice me with a reason.
How should i write it, so i could use one name, that made trigger to fire?

P.S. Names can be one, two, or three words, and must be catched inside one line (sometimes multiply times).
Example of mud text:

Somewhere in city.
Your totaly lost in city. You have no idea where to go.
You see four exits: north, east, south, west.
Short bald dwarf, blackdressed man, grayhaired old dwarf, Frank, high priest, Mike.

You aren't using strings properly, you need to capture the names to compare to your list like

<trigger priority="20950" id="2095">
<pattern>^You see %w exits:</pattern>
<trigger type="Within Lines" param="1">
<pattern>^(*)$</pattern>
</trigger>
</trigger>

then do %ismember etc etc.

A database variable would make this easier, #VAR varFraglist {name1=reason1|name2=reason2|name3=reason3}

then it's #sh Reason for frag: %db(@varFragList, "name" )

The patten to this trigger must be name only.
If one of (150) 'names' is 'grayhaired old dwarf' and the second one is 'Mike' the trigger must color them both in one line (that it does), but i need it to text me also corresponding values from second list (the same, if i'll make it a database variable).

Propably i need to use local variable or something? Is there a possibility to declare one in trigger?

Edit:
Made something (working for now) like this:

<trigger priority="7960" id="796">
<pattern>($temp:{@varFraglist})</pattern>
<value>#cw firebrick;
#sh Fragreason: %item(@varFraglist_com,%ismember($temp,@varFraglist))</value>
<arglist>$temp</arglist>
</trigger>

Should i expect problems with that code, or is it o.k.?

You should be able to do what you want with a database variable. Make a db variable like so:
#VAR FragDB {name1=reason1|name2=reason2|name3=reason3}

Then the trigger is:
#TRIGGER {({@FragDB})} {#CW firebrick; #SH Fragreason: %db(@FragDB,%1)}}

(there is a command line option for setting it to repeat within line, but I forget what it is. You can set the repeat within line from the Package Editor.)

Something like your last code should work, but you probably don't need the $temp. The reason your original code didn't work is probably because you didn't put parentheses around the {}, so it was not captured into %1.

Trigger works very well, just got one more remark:
trigger does not work after i put it in package file, i need to restart cmud for it work.

Thank You for Your help!

Hm I didn't know it was so easy to match within a string/db variable, I figured it would need to match the entire variable not just an element. Nice.

Yes, it's very convenient. Within a trigger, {@dbvar} will match against the _keys_ of @dbvar, and if you capture the value, it captures the matched key. Makes a lot of things much easier.
