Oops, I'm completely wrong with this: in prompts the colour codes _are_
preserved so you will need to keep this in mind with your trigger.

Something to match a prompt like
	^[[32m3300h, ^[[37m^[[32m3300m ^[37m^[32mcexs-


/def -p1 -mregexp -h'prompt ([0-9]*)h, .*m([0-9]*)m' prm_hook = \
 	/set hitp=%P1 %;\
 	/set manap=%P2 %;\
	/test prompt({*})

You can match the escape character by a litteral escape in your trigger
(writing ^[ won't work) - or by just using '.' for any character.
So if you want to extract the colour codes as well, you can use:

/def -p1 -mregexp -h'prompt ([0-9]*)m([0-9]*)h, .*\[([0-9]*)m([0-9]*)m' \
prm_hook = \
 	/set hitc=%P1 %;\
 	/set hitp=%P2 %;\
 	/set manac=%P3 %;\
 	/set manap=%P4 %;\
	/test prompt({*})
