| Hey there, I'm having some trouble with this trigger here. I'm trying to match on the left or right, but the %1 calls out the entire line when I have it set up as an alternate type of trigger. Any way I can call that left|right to check for a match?
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="aff"
keep_evaluating="y"
match="(^missing the (left|right) ear\.$|^Blood flows into your (left|right) side inner ear\, inhibiting your sense of balance\.$)"
name="severedear_aff"
regexp="y"
repeat="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>if ("%1" = "right") Then
call diagcall ("severed_rightear")
elseif ("%1" = "left") Then
call diagcall ("severed_leftear")
end if</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

| Change the pattern to:
(?:^missing the (left|right) ear\.$|^Blood flows into your (left|right) side inner ear\, inhibiting your sense of balance\.$)
The first wildcard in your pattern was filled by the outermost capture group, so it always contained the entire matched string. Using "?:" after the opening bracket makes sure that the group isn't captured.
[EDIT]: Actually, make it:
^(?:missing the (left|right) ear\.|Blood flows into your (left|right) side inner ear\, inhibiting your sense of balance\.)$

| | Alternatively, each group (that is, thing in brackets) becomes its own wildcard, so I would have thought the first left/right would be %2, and the second left/right would be %3. |

| | The other thing is to remove the "outer" brackets - you don't need them, and all that does is make the entire matching line be wildcard %1. |

| Hmm, I tried removing the brackets and then it wasn't picking up the line at all. Thanks for the ?: suggestion I will try that in my triggers and see how it works.
I actually tried the %2/%3 also and it still didn't pick it up, it would only trigger the whole line as %1. I used note "%1", note "%2", and note "%3" to test this. | | Top |
