I've fixed the problem after browsing some other threads. I changed:

 350*:             sPat = "[%w\-]+$"
 351 :         else
 352 :             sPat = "^[%w\-]+"


to

 350*:             sPat = "[%w\\-]+$"
 351 :         else
 352 :             sPat = "^[%w\\-]+"


[Moderator edit] fixed backslashes for forum

This is because LuaJIT and Lua 5.2 are both strict about invalid escape sequences, because invalid escape sequences likely mean that your string is not doing what you think it is. Just make sure that that is the pattern you actually want. There are two different ways that you can turn "\-" into something valid.

You're likely opening it with the wrong kind of program. You need to use a text editor.

Line numbers may be shown by some editor programs, but are not actually part of the file.

Perhaps you accidentally opened the wrong file.

my sincere apologies for all the questions. but as my knowledge will become saturated some day, the questions will disappear :P

completely stared myself over a few things when i was into this too long the other day.
when used the ctrl+f i found it :P
but is this about the script prefix '\' ?
because when i look in my settings which i haven't changed, its on '\\\'

thnx for your patience.

There is no need to apologize for anything. Your questions have been very polite and to the point, so they are not at all painful to answer.

No. The issue is as follows...

Look at this page about Strings in Lua: http://www.lua.org/pil/2.4.html

Note the table of escape sequences in strings after the part that says "Strings in Lua can contain the following C-like escape sequences:"

In Lua 5.1, ANYthing can be escaped (preceded by "\") and if it is not in the table shown then the "\" is just ignored. In LuaJIT 2 (and Lua 5.2, upon which it is currently based) which is the Lua interpreter packaged with the Aardwolf MUSHclient Package, that is not the case. Escaping something not in that table is considered invalid because it means you don't really know what your string is doing and you've probably made a mistake.

Now I don't know if Xaroth's proposed solution is actually correct, because I haven't studied this particular script, but it will at least resolve the described code ambiguity. There are two ways to resolve the ambiguity presented by "\-" in the quoted code lines. The correct solution is one of either "\-" or "-". I can't say which, but Xaroth has indicated that "\-" gave satisfactory results.

Getting back into Aardwolf and was going to try this plugin, but was having some small problem.

There is no window or anything that appears.

I made the change to the script to fix the error and it seems to load. I can bring up the help text, but can't seem to get anything other then that.

I am using the aardclient.

Thanks

Maybe it's hidden behind something else?

Thanks. It was hiding behind a window. Was kind of surprised that using the send to back option on the window covering it didn't make it so that the consider window came to the front.

Although now it's not auto updating. So far the only thing I have tried is turning off my prompt, but haven't had time to go through all of the troubleshooting tips on page 2 yet.

If you know a quick fix for that I would gladly take it. I will try to go through all the stuff on page 2 if not.

If it's not one thing it's another ROFL
