I don't think that matching on colours will work: just ignore the
colours in your expression. Besides the '[' character has a special
meaning in regular expressions, but you are using it as a litteral
character as well (it should be escaped with a '\' in that case).

Try something like this instead:

/def -p1 -mregexp -h"prompt ([0-9]*), ([0-9]*) [a-z]*" prm_hook = \
	/set hitp=%P1 %;\
	/set manap=%P2


Ciao,
Johan
