Just as well you warned me, I don't often read emails, being 99.9% spam. (In case anyone is wondering, the email contained an example who list).

A minor tweak was necessary, the test for the name needed to be made "not greedy" as, once we added in the space, it was sucking in all the letters and spaces onwards, including the word "the". This seemed to work with your test data:



match="^\[\s*\d+\s+[-\w]+\s+\w+\] ([\[\(]\w+?[\]\)] )*(?P&lt;player&gt;[\w ]+?) the \w+"

Basically there is a ? after the + in the test for the player name.

Just to break this regexp down into its component parts, this is what it does:

^ - match start of line
\[ - match a LH square bracket
\s* - match zero or more spaces
\d+ - match one or more digits (the level)
\s+ - match one or more spaces
[-\w]+ - match one or more of the set "word" characters or hyphens (the race)
\s+ - match one or more spaces
\w+ - match one or more word characters (the class)
\] - match a RH square bracket
Now we have a group consisting of the next few things inside round brackets (the optional things) with a * afterwards, to indicate "zero or more of these things".
- ( - start of the group
- [\[\(] a set consisting of the [ or ( character
- \w+? - one or more word characters, not greedy
- [\]\)] - a set consisting of the ] or ) character
- ) - end of the group
- * - match this entire group zero or more times
(?P<player> - start of group named "player"
[\w ]+? - match one or more of the set "word" characters or spaces (the player name), not greedy
) - end of the group named "player"
the \w+ - the word "the" followed by another word

Simple, huh?

But at least, looking at this you should be able to understand it, and be better able to design modifications.

In the XML code "<player>" is represented as "<player>", but that is just for inside the plugin, internally the regular expression is just "<player>".

This is the wholist for the mud Im on. emperia.org 5002

Its basically like this

[tribe level race class] Name Title

As you can see the player Testing has no tribe, so his spot there is blank. Also, we have an option for AFK (away from computer) that shows people are afk. This puts [AFK] in front of the player name when enabled.

Can someone please come up with a script that will work for me?
