| Hello,
I currently use a chat redirect and trying to apply it to a new mud. I am unable to match the pattern to pick up the chat I want to redirect. The chat patterns are :
[NewbiE] Roen: 'test'
[OOC] Roen: -- 'test'
I am trying to match on [NewbiE] and [OOC]
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="%OOC% + '.*'$"
regexp="y"
script="redirect"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="%NewbiE% + '.*'$"
regexp="y"
script="redirect"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
Any help be greatly appreciated. | | Top |

| This has no way of matching on what you are trying to:
If you are trying to match square brackets, you need to use square brackets, however "escape" them with a backslash because they have a special meaning otherwise. More like this:
More simply, don't use regular expressions and just use a normal wildcard:
 |
Regular expressions
- Regular expressions (as used in triggers and aliases) are documented on the Regular expression tips forum page.
- Also see how Lua string matching patterns work, as documented on the Lua string.find page.

| Got it somehow a previous saved .MCL had the same name. Maybe created when I was trying to set this up.
Also using this match- match="[OOC]*" was redirecting all to chat window.
When I used match="^\[OOC\].*" it worked good.
Thank you | | Top |

| These days it is easier to use the miniwindows version of the chat plugin. I think the latest version is here:

As for the match, the second suggestion I made was not a regular expression, so you need to turn that off:
