Thank you :) I have seen those, still working around them.

I remembered something someone mentioned in some other post where %0 is the whole string captured, and this is what i was looking for.

Thanks for the quick reply, and all the help from the forums.

Hello. I have been using one of the examples Fiendish gave:
groupArr["%1"] = {"%2","%3","%4","%5","%6","%7","%8","%9","%10","%11"}

It works great for all the stuff I wanted this table to do. However, I was wondering if there was a way send this table information to a mini-window. I am not looking for anything too fancy. I have watched and read the examples like http://gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=9965, but all of these examples use a wait to capture the information as a single line. I am not really sure how to insert something like the above table into the windowtext.

Something simple like,

WindowCreate (win, 0, 0, 105, 15, 8, 0, ColourNameToRGB("yellow"));
WindowFont (win, "f", "Lucida Console", 9, true, false, false, false, 1, 0);
WindowText (win, font, groupArr, 5, 2, 0, 0, ColourNameToRGB ("black"), false);
WindowShow (win, true);

for k,v in pairs(groupArr) do
if v.here == "Y" and v.mv == "fatigue" then
if k == "%1" then
print(k)
end
end
end

this is a test alias to see if this all did what I wanted to do. The goal is to eventually make a trigger that checks the group and then casts spells like fly if someone needs it. In this case I am checking both their movement and if they are in the room so i can refresh their movement. It seems to work. If anyone has a better suggestion i would love to hear it because I am still fairly new at this.
Thanks for all the help so far, these forums have helped a ton

Ok I think I am starting to get it. I tried this:

print (table.foreach (groupArr,
function (k, v)
if v.here == "Y" then
return k
end -- if
end -- function
))

and with the information pasted from the last message I got a return of:

Bob

Which is correct, as he was the only one "here".

BUT, if i have both groupies in the same room and both are "here" it only returns the top one.


table.foreach is deprecated anyway. Use

for k,v in pairs(groupArr) do
   if v.here == "Y" then
       print(k)
   end
end

Ahhh... Oops.
That's because %10 and %11 are getting parsed as "%1" and 1. and "%1" and 0. My mistake.
Use %<10> and %<11> instead.

Scroll down to 'Using the wildcard in the "send" box ...' on http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?general=triggers

Globally? No. Inside that script, yes. If you want to access them globally you'll need to read about serializing lua tables to mushclient variables.

groupArr["%1"] = { hits = "%2", mv = "%3", pos = "%4", fly = "%5", inv = "%6", wb = "%7", imt = "%8", here = "%9", light = "%10", mem = "%11"}

Thanks, this is what I was thinking of, and so much simpler then I thought it would be.

to test the information in the new groupArr table I used:
require "tprint"
tprint (groupArr)

this gave a slight problem and I am not sure why.

*not sure why this is not spacing correctly...
"Silbo":
"mem"="Silbo1"
"light"="Silbo0"
"inv"="N"
"here"="N"
"wb"="N"
"imt"="Y"
"fly"="N"
"pos"="sitting"
"mv"="rested"
"hits"="perfect"
"Bob":
"mem"="Bob1"
"light"="Bob0"
"inv"="N"
"here"="Y"
"wb"="N"
"imt"="Y"
"fly"="Y"
"pos"="resting"
"mv"="rested"
"hits"="perfect"

the "mem" and "light" entries in each are not correct, as the mud shows this:

Rob perfect rested resting Y N N Y Y 1 1
Bob perfect rested standing N N N Y Y 0 0

Also, just to make sure... I can access these new variables globally by something like: groupArr.rob.hit ??

try

table.insert(groupArr, {"%1","%2","%3","%4","%5","%6","%7","%8","%9","%10","%11"})

or even

groupArr["%1"] = {"%2","%3","%4","%5","%6","%7","%8","%9","%10","%11"}

I have used this trigger to capture information, but I am not exactly sure what to do with it.

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="autoheal"
match="^ ([A-Za-z]+)\b\s+([A-Za-z\.]+)\b\s+([A-Za-z]+)\b\s+([A-Za-z]+)\s+([YN])\s+([YN])\s+([YN])\s+([YN])\s+([YN])\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)$"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>table.insert(groupArr, ("%0"))</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

This trigger works well for capturing the information and storing into a table (groupArr) as a single string. But, ultimately what I would like to do is form sub-tables for each character name with the information so that i can access each given information provided individually.

Example: make a trigger to check to see if Bob is flying, or sitting, or in bad condition so that i can fly whoever needs flying or heal someone who is at bad health.

Hi, I have read through many different posts on the forums trying to figure out how to do what I want to do. This includes the nice tutorial/help on lua tables, as well as other posts asking about tables, and I still can not quite grasp all the components I need.

What I would like to do is capture a bunch if information after typing : group

example text after command:
Your group of 10 members consists of:
Member Hits Move Position Fly Inv Water iMT Here Light Mem
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bob perfect rested standing Y N N N Y 0 0
Rob good rested standing Y N Y Y Y 0 0
Lob bad rested sitting Y N Y Y Y 2 0
