problem capturing number in parentheses
|
Hi there!
I'm trying to capture my max hp, and here is the mud's promt:
| Code: |
| Hp: 1078(1078) Gp: 50(50) Xp: 730,300 Socp: 76(76) |
with this trigger:
| Code: |
| Hp: %d(%d) Gp: %d(%d) Xp: * Socp: %d(%d) |
I just can't get it to work. I have tried to escape the parentheses (maybe i don't know the right char)
Help please? |

| Code: |
#TRIGGER {Hp: (%d)~((%d)~) Gp: (%d)~((%d)~) Xp: %n Socp: (%d)~((%d)~) } {#VAR HP %1;#VAR MAX_HP %2;#VAR GP %3;#VAR MAX_GP %4;#VAR SOCP %5;#VAR MAX_SOCP %6} "" "PROMPT"
|
EDIT: Added prompt option and changed the XP# to %n. |

%d won't work for the XP number. You'll need to use %n Hp: (%d)~((%d)~) Gp: (%d)~((%d)~) Xp: %n Socp: (%d)~((%d)~) and if you want to use the value for anything, you'll want to put brackets () round it like there are round the other wildcards.

Thanks much for the replies!
I'm still having a problem.
I have this for the pattern:
| Code: |
| Hp: (%d)~((%d)~) Gp: (%d)~((%d)~) Xp: (%n) Socp: (%d)~((%d)~) |
and for the value:
| Code: |
#VAR hp %1
#VAR maxhp %2
#VAR gp %3
#VAR maxgp %4
#VAR sp %5
#VAR maxsp %6 |
When i go to "test" it with the test tab, i use this pattern i copied from the mud output:
| Code: |
Hp: 1094(1094) Gp: 50(50) Xp: 938,879 Socp: 88(88)
|
It says "pattern doesn't match".
If I use the "default" pattern matching test, of this:
| Code: |
| Hp: 123(123) Gp: 123(123) Xp: -123 Socp: 123(123) |
It matches just fine. is the "Xp" number messing up the whole string?
Thanks for your help!! |

Yes, I would use (%x). Instead of (%n)

Also remember that with your altered pattern (you added a set of brackets () ) that sp will be %6 and maxsp %7. xp is %5.

Also remember you might want to strip out the , contained in the number and convert it to a integer instead of a string.
Just depends on what you plan on doing it with it later as to whether that is necessary or not. |

I did change xp to %x, in brackets. I still can't get it to capture the numbers. I wonder what I am doing wrong...?

Spacing could be off. For every place where there are spaces, delete all the spaces and change it to %s. I know in the MUD I play, spacing is determined by the number of digits.

Charneus, I tried what you suggested....
It didn't work. Supremely confused, i looked at every character of the "test" pattern.
There was a trailing space in the original pattern. I deleted the space, and BAM!!!
It works!!
Thanks for you help everyone!!
For those that are interested, here's the code:
| Code: |
Pattern:
Hp:%s(%d)~((%d)~)%sGp:%s(%d)~((%d)~)%sXp:%s(%x)%sSocp:%s(%d)~((%d)~)
#VAR hp %1
#VAR maxhp %2
#VAR gp %3
#VAR maxgp %4
#VAR sp %6
#VAR maxsp %6 |

%n is supposed to work on formatted numbers. If it's not working, that's a bug.

%n is working fine. I have no idea why it's not in this case.

It was probably the space in the very beginning messing up the pattern, not the %n.
