| hey i have a question.
i have a trigger from when a group mate comes back when they tell the group back i tell the group "welcome back <name>"
is there a way i can make it so * signifies only one word and not just anything before * tells the group, 'back'.
example of what it is:
joe schmoe from idaho tells the group, 'back'
you tell the group, 'welcome back joe schmoe from idaho!'
example of what i want:
joe schmoe from idaho tells the group, 'back'
you tell the group, 'welcome back idaho!'
any ideas would be appreciated | Top |

Do you really mean: 'welcome back joe!' ?
That would make a bit more sense.
In that case I would agree with Skyy but with an amendment:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^(\w+) (.* )?tells the group, 'back'$"
regexp="y"
sequence="100"
>
<send>gt welcome back %1</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
This is now a regular expression. See http://www.mushclient.com/regexp for more details about regular expressios.
Anyway, first it looks for a word (\w+) which would be the person's name (eg. Joe), followed by a space, and then other stuff (.* )? which is optional, and then "tells the group, 'back'".
See http://www.mushclient.com/pasting for how to copy that into the client. |

That link will explain regular expressions. What Skyy posted will work perfectly fine, but I would use ="^(\w+) tells the group, 'back'$" so that it will not match " tells the group, 'back'$"
Also, when creating regular expressions, you can test them with this website: http://www.nvcc.edu/home/drodgers/CEU/Resources/test_regexp.asp |

| Bah, curse Nick for being up at a ridiculous hour and posting helpful information while I'm working and posting.
Makes my posts seem redundant :p |
