| Hello. When I used Tintin, I could do something like:
#alias {h} {cast heal}
and the following would result:
h: cast heal
h argon: cast heal argon
I tried doing the same thing in Mush, but couldn't figure out how to do it without writing two aliases for each one I wanted to create this way. Is there something I'm missing? Since writing
match on: h
send: cast 'cure light'
only works if I type h, without any extra args, and "h *" in match only works if I type h with an arg or a space after it.

| A simple regular expression will do that:
<aliases>
<alias
match="^h( .*){0,1}$"
enabled="y"
regexp="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>cast 'cure light'%1</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
That would match on "h" on its own or "h" followed by a space and then anything. The "anything" might be too broad, so this might be better:
<aliases>
<alias
match="^h( [A-Za-z]{1,}){0,1}$"
enabled="y"
regexp="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>cast 'cure light'%1</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
This would only match on "h <something alphabetic>" assuming your names are like A-Z and a-z, however if other things like underscore can be in names you just put that inside the square brackets.
The notation {0,1} means "zero or 1 of these things", and {1,} means "one or more". |
