| AddTriigerEx function seems to behave differently in command line and in an alias
I have following piece of script to create a trigger for me in an alias
AddTriggerEx ('number', '^\\d\-\\d$', 'SetVariable("number","\%1")', 1|32, -1, 0, '', '', 12, 100);
when I call the alias the new trigger's match-line is created as "^d-d$" but if I just send them through command line then new trigger is created correctly as "^\d-\d$"
What do I need to do to create a regx trigger in an alias? | | Top |

| % symbols in aliases represent wildcards so you need to double them.
I.e. Change %1 to %%1 |

double backslashes did not work for me, I have
AddTriggerEx ('force', '^\d\-\d$', 'SetVariable("number","%%1")', 1|32, -1, 0, '', '', 12, 100);
in the alias and it still gives me ^d-d$, '%1' in response text is set correctly now though | | Top |

| Quadruple the backslashes then.
In the send-to-script it already treats two backslashes as one and then Lua treats two as one as well so to put a single \ into a string you need four. |
