This trigger matches, but doesn't send anything to output... To match, I use "Poromenos says 'Hello there Poromenos'", and nothing. What am I not seeing? |

| Because you have turned off "greedy" matching the thing in the brackets is matching the minimal amount it can, not the maximum.
Try making the regular expression:
match="Hello there (.*)"
That matches better. |

| Are you sure this is it? Because I seem to remember turning it to a normal trigger and back to regexp, and it matched... Not sure though...
When you have "Hello (.*?)" isn't it supposed to match
there
on
Poromenos says: Hello there
? |

| | But yes, I suppose that if it's non greedy it would match the rest of the line if i had the $ at the end... |

| | Yes, non-greedy in the middle of a line (without the $) is going to try to match a minimal amount. |
