| Hello,
I've got a few questions, on how to do something.
First, Is there some quick tutorial on regexp?
I know how it works a bit, but I'm not the best with it.
Also, if I do something like: ^hello my name is *.$, the $ is the end of the line. how do I access what was in the * position with a php script?
I'm also working on two things.
First, I need to be able to parse a who list, which is on multiple lines. is there a way that this can be done, efficiently? I see the player name, and location. I want to trigger on the location, but each player is on a separate line.
Second, and this is two-part, I've got a line that has 5 parts to it.
Now, I want to start on the right, and act on each one. so I'll have like:
The meter reads: * * * * and *
is there an efficient way to do this? I need to start on the right, and do a test based on that, act on it, then obtain the line again until a trigger is matched.
So, I'll work backwards.
second, is there a way to make the client pause?
With php, when I use a sleep function, the window (program) freezes, and keeps showing a "server busy" message.
I think that's about it. I've got a list of the world functions, I'm just stuck on how to parse multiple lines, and do the 5 part line.
Thanks in advance for all the help, | | Top |

I think you mean:
^hello my name is .*$
The "." means "any character" and the "*" means "zero or more of the previous character". Your example would match zero or more spaces as you had the * after the space.
If you using the "send" field the wildcard will be %1 in the send field, including if that is a script.
eg.
$name = "%1"
If you are using a script file the wildcards are passed down as an argument to the script function, or you can use GetTriggerWildcard, see:

Get the entire matching line in a script, and then do your processing in the script (you won't get the trigger to fire again, just reprocess the line in the script).

Sounds like you haven't read the FAQ - it has heaps of useful stuff in it. |
