| So I'm trying to create a reg exp trigger to match on:
vial84905 the venom colocasia (pinewood vial) 1 1000gp
What I have is:
^[ ]+vial(\d) the venom (\w) (pinewood vial)[ ]+(\d)[ ]+(\d)gp$
For some reason it is not matching and I'm running out of ideas. Any help will be apprecited.
Thanks
Hoss

| Try this:
^\s+vial(\d+) the venom (\w+) (pinewood vial)\s+(\d*+)\s+(\d*+)gp$
Your match isn't working because the "\d" and "\w" is only looking for 1 character and by your text to match you will need to match more (hence the +). Also, spaces can be matched using "\s" although a set "[ ]" will work just as well. | | Top |

| To actually match brackets you need to put a backslash in front of them, because brackets in a regexp mean "capture the thing inside".
Also "(\d*+)" is not quite right, it should be "(\d+)" .
The trigger below matched for me on your test string:
<triggers>
<trigger
custom_colour="2"
enabled="y"
match="^\s+vial(\d+) the venom (\w+) \(pinewood vial\)\s+(\d+)\s+(\d+)gp$"
regexp="y"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
</triggers>

| Alright so I have the first trigger set up and working perfectly but I have a new line I need to match.
A canvas backpack, #11580.
It must also match on
A pair of exquisite knee-high tanned doeskin boots lined with fine lamb's wool, #204952.
and on
Here is what I have so far:
^(A|An) (\.+)\, #(\d+)\.$
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

| This:
(\.+)
should probably be this:
(.+)
because you want to match on any character, not just periods. |
