| | I need "Poromenos yells hello" to match on "* yells *", but i need the first asterisk to be one word, i.e. match on "Poromenos yells hi" but not on "Poro menos yells hi". How can i do that? |

| Take a look at the regular expression documentation file. There are all sorts of things you can do. In this case, you want a "word" character, eg.
^(\w+) yells (.*)$
Alternatively, just use something simple like this:
^([A-Za-z]+) yells (.*)$
That would be slightly different. The "word" character is defined as a letter, digit, or underscore. Choose which you prefer. |
