MudWalker scripts cannot write to files. This is deliberate;  
otherwise, using a connection document you got from someone else  
could do harmful things (much like Word macro viruses).

However, here's something that might do the job.

Match patterns:
^We will pay you (\d+) gold for each (.*)\.$

Direct to channel:  Trading Data
Substitute text:    $(arg[1])$,"$(arg[2])$"

With this trigger enabled, every line in the response format you show  
above will appear in a separate window in CSV format. You can select  
and copy the text out, and close the window when you're done.
