a word problem
|
so I know this is probably be a completely insanely simple question but for some reason I can't get it. So when I see how far I have practiced a certain skill I get this info from the mud.
skill name number
All I want is to get the skill name and place it into a var. However I can't seem to get it to work when there are two words in the skill name.
I know this is stupid simple, I just can't wrap my head around it. I can get two words just fine and place into a var but the skill name is not always two words.
I don't know if this is making sense as I am extremely tired right now. 36 hours awake straight and all.
Thanks to all who try to understand my jibberish |

It's always easier to understand if you show as well as explain.
Show us what's coming from the mud
Show us what you've tried
Show us what you expected it to do, and what it did instead.
Its pretty difficult to misunderstand if you do all that.
Anyways maybe this is what you were after
| Code: |
#REGEX {^(\a+(?: \a+)?) (\d+)} {
#echo SKILL:%1
#echo NUMBER:%2
} |
You may or not want to remove the ^ I'm not sure if the match should start at the beginning of the line |

apologies. Here is what I get from the mud when I type "prac energy sphere"
| Code: |
You have 6 practice sessions remaining.
energy sphere 47 |
I have an autoprac script that practices a spell/skill I have in the variable @spell. I want to expand the autoprac script I have to work off a string list of different skills/spells that I pick out. When one skill is at 90 it changes over to the next in the string list while removing the one in @spell fromt he string list. String lists I can work with fairly well. I just can't seem to figure out how to capture both words for the skill name if there are two or only a single if there is only one word for the skill name. That way I could sy something along the line of
#if (pracingskil = 90) then remove pracing skill from stringlist; @spell = next skill in stringlist.
As far as what I have tried....
I keep trying al different combinations of wildcards to place in the trigger line.
*yay spaces now there |

*edit
Thanks again, I now have a fully functional autoprac script. I can finally catch up on all my skill pracing by just adding those left behind to the list. You have helped make my life much much easier! |

real quick, the {6,8} refers to how much whitespace there could be?

Yeah, between 6 and 8 spaces. You can change the numbers, or remove the whole {n,n} and replace it with a + to mean "one or more" if there's a very variable number of spaces there.
