| Just had a real quick question about LUA pattern matching, since it doesn't use POSIX regex's...
Would the LUA pattern match below
Quote:
^(?<inum>%d*)%s-%s(?<seller>.*)%s*(?<iname>.*)%s*(?<ilevel>%d*)%s*(?<ibid>%d*)%s*(?<itime>%d*)$
match the following strings?
Quote:
283 - Newfoundling >.: Knee-High Rumors :.< 71 10,000 88
Quote:
284 - Honid the Dagger of Binding 20 1,000,000 36
Quote:

Anyone see a more effecient way to word the pattern match? | | Top |

| Those 3 strings were supposed to have more spaces inbetween the words but didn't display correctly when i used the quote codes. So i'm gunna try to paste them without quotes below...
283 - Newfoundling >.: Knee-High Rumors :.< 71 10,000 88
284 - Honid the Dagger of Binding 20 1,000,000 36

| Ok, so that didn't work either, this time, trying it by replacing all the spaces with #'s....

| Lua pattern matching does not have named wildcards, so you need to drop this stuff:
Also Lua is not an acronym, so to capitalized correctly it is Lua, not LUA. |
