Need help with text handling (from wildcard in trigger)

Hi

I want to make a trigger and do some actions depending the text, for example



But %1 can be any of this (for example):



how can i get that %1 be:



i mean, in the first two cases, eliminate the "a " and "an ", and let "Sargent Lewis" as is

otr other way is with two triggers:

One trigger that match:



and works with the first 2 cases, but don't know what to do to match the last two

Something like get the name if not start with A and An

Any help??

Thanks

How about this?



The "?:" stops it being captured (so the name is still %1).

What this is looking for is "a" or "an" followed by a space, which itself is optional, preceding the word.

An alternative would be to have the space after each optional word, like this:



And if you omit the "?:" then the matching word (eg. Maria) becomes wildcard #2. eg.

Hi

That works perfect

thanks
