Regexp with %name%

In the Connecting section, under the General tab in the Configuration, it says "You can use '%name%' or '%password%' if you wish the name or password supplied above to be inserted. What I'd like to know is, can I use %name% in regexp? I have a number of different muck characters, so what I'm aiming for is a highlight function. Right now I have to use their individual names in triggers, such as:

^.*(?i)Fuzzybat23.*$

which would highlight an entire line anytime "Fuzzybat23" appears.

I'd love to use %name%, like:

^.*(?i)%name%.*$

which should replace %name% with the name of whatever muck char I have connected, but sadly doesn't work. Anyone out there know how I could get something like this to work?

No, it's only in the connecting box. However you can find out the player name using GetInfo (3). Then that could be inserted into the regular expression.

I'm probably wrong in this, but.. would the trigger look like:

^.*(?i)GetInfo(3).*$

No, not like that. You can put variables into triggers if you check "expand variables".

So somewhere in the initialization (world open) you set up a variable, eg.



Then in the trigger:

I could put everything I need into the world file then?

I'd open up muckworld.mcl in note pad and the first thing I see is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>
<!-- Saved on Thursday, January 03, 2013, 8:06 AM -->
<!-- MuClient version 4.84 -->
<!-- Written by Nick Gammon -->
<!-- Home Page: http://www.mushclient.com/ -->
<muclient>
<world

muclient_version="4.84"
world_file_version="15"
date_saved="2013-01-03 08:06:23"
A bunch more variables
> <!-- end of general world attributes -->

Would it go here? ->
SetVariable ("playername", GetInfo (3))

</world>

<triggers
muclient_version="4.84"
world_file_version="15"
date_saved="2013-01-03 08:06:23"
>

And the trigger could go here?
<trigger other_text_colour="silver" sequence="90" repeat="y" regexp="y" match="^.*(?i)@playername.*$" keep_evaluating="y" ignore_case="y" group="Highlighted Words" enabled="y" custom_colour="3"> </trigger>

</Triggers>

Then there's bunches of other code in the world file after this..
