| Probably just me but i cant work out how to make a trigger to catch this text:
(A|An) <wildcard1> (male|female) <wildcard2> in from the <wildcard3>.
So then it would match for the following text:
An orange-eyed male human walks in from the west.
That would match:
<wildcard1> = orange-eyed
<wildcard2> = human walks
<wildcard3> = west
Little help please.
Thanx |

| To use "A" or "An" you have committed to regular expressions, so we'll do it with them. :)
To get wildcards you need to put the text in brackets, however you don't care about wildcards 1 and 3, so just ignore them. The trigger would be like this:
<triggers>
<trigger
custom_colour="2"
enabled="y"
match="(A|An) (.*) (male|female) (.*) in from the (.*). "
regexp="y"
send_to="2"
sequence="100"
>
<send>wildcard 2 = %2
wildcard 4 = %4
wildcard 5 = %5
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
