| Hi,
I'm new to this whole scripting and was wondering if there was a way to have varying number of wildcards in the one trigger.
I know i can do this:
Trigger: ^(.*?) says (.*?)$
Input: Greg says hi tony
And i assume wildcards [1] is "Greg" and wirldcards [2] is "hi tony".
Is it at all possible to have each word after the "says" a seperate wildcard, where the number of words can vary?(i hope that came out right :S)
thnx | | Top |

| Not exactly as wildcards, because the wildcard numbers are assigned when the regular expressions is parsed for round brackets. However you can achieve it easily enough with a bit of scripting. For example:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^(.*?) says (.*?)$"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
who = "%1"
said = "%2"
print ("speaker is " .. who)
print ("words are:")
for w in string.gmatch (said, "[%a%d]+") do
print (w)
end -- for loop
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
See http://www.mushclient.com/pasting for how to copy and paste that example into the client.
On your test I saw this:
Greg says hi tony
speaker is Greg
words are:
hi
tony
Effectively I have used a Lua regular expression inside the script to break up what was said into words.
Another test:
Greg says this is a fine how do you do
speaker is Greg
words are:
this
is
a
fine
how
do
you
do
