need help with my trigger please.
|
Hi,
my mud outputs
#K%xxx011AAC1.6 days
xxx is just a bunch of random 5 digits, 011 is the number of characters that appear after it, AAC is also nothing important, it can change, but it is always 3 capital letters. what i want to capture is 1.6 days. however, it is possible for another output to have 099 instead of 011, then i will need to capture the 99 characters that come after the 099. so, i have this trigger
~#K~%@code&%d{length}&%w{tag}&%eval(@length-3)
and i capture the string i want with #VAR string %3
this only works sporadically.
Help please.
Oh, and is there anyway to force the pattern &%w{tag} to capture only 3 letters?
Thanks! |

| Code: |
| ^~#K\d\d\d\d\d\d\d\d[A-Z][A-Z][A-Z](\d\.\d) days |
worked for the days, I am not sure what you need though, regex trigger, examples of what that is would be better |

basically, the 1.6 days i gave in the example, can be "A~1323~C~685~E~68~G~10~J~<rxxxxx: [2/2]> <vxxxxxxxx: [3/3]> Reset: [30%] xxxx: xxxxxxxxxx" or "Main Trader (s)" or even just "C~799"
1 big problem with the output is that it doesn't come with a carriage return, so it can be strung together like
#K%xxxxx011AAC1.6 days#K%xxxxx069FFFJ~<rttttt: [2/2]> <vtttttttt: [3/3]> Reset: [50%] tttt: tttttttttt#K%xxxxx019FFFA~1329~C~692~G~8#K%xxxxx008FFFC~765#K%xxxxx011AAC1.8 days
so, my idea is to capture the 3 digits which show how many characters that certain output contains, so that i know how many characters to capture each time. hmmm, does that make sense?
thanks for helping, i've been stumped for days... |

There is no way to have the trigger know while processing the trigger how many characters to capture. The only way is to capture everything after the AAC (or other three letters) and slice off the right number of characters within the trigger value. So, something like this:
| Code: |
<trigger priority="320" id="32">
<pattern>~#K~%&5(&3)(&3)(*)</pattern>
<value>#local $length $code $data
$length = %int(%1)
$code = %2
$data = %left(%3, $length)</value>
</trigger>
|
Caveat: I have not actually used the &nn pattern before, but according to my reading of the documentation, that pattern should work. |

hmm, problem with that is that is that the output strings together one after the other so i'll only end up catching the first one. is there anyway to tell the trigger to like, match everything UNTIL it reaches #K?

is this a prompt line? Perhaps an easier method would be to make this trigger an "on prompt" trigger, and also have it insert a carriage return. Then the next prompt will be on it's own line, and the trigger will fire again.

The best idea that comes to mind is to automatically insert a carriage return before every #K% pattern, or at the end of the line. Something like this might work:
| Code: |
<trigger priority="1" trigontrig="false" newline="false" prompt="true" id="32">
<pattern>~#K~%</pattern>
<value>#show %crlf</value>
</trigger>
|
It is priority 1 so that it will happen before any other triggers. It is set to trigger on prompt, so it will happen as soon as that pseudo-prompt text appears, not waiting for a newline. That way your other triggers should be able to work on each one of these #K% patterns separately, without having to worry about more than one appearing on a line. |

After playing with this. I was able to do a little better job splitting the stuff up with the following code:
| Code: |
<trigger priority="1" regex="true" prompt="true" id="91">
<pattern>(.*)(#K.*)(#K.*)</pattern>
<value>#if (%1 !="")
{
#show %1
}
#show %2
#show %3</value>
</trigger>

ok wow, that worked great. except for 1 thing. thanks alot Rahab.
#K%47180011AAC4.2 days#K%47180011AAF1.8 days
always seems to come out at the same time, so it doesn't work as planned. instead, i get 2 newlines after that appears.
i tried:
| Code: |
<trigger priority="1" id="6779">
<pattern>~#K~%(*)#K~%(*)</pattern>
<value>#SHOW #K~%%1
#SHOW #K~%%2</value>
</trigger>
|
but it doesn't work. more help would be much appreciated!
also, is there anyway to capture a specific number of letters into a variable i know you can use &%d{varname}, but how do you capture exactly 3 letters into the variable?
there is this output
#K%47180069FFFJ
i want to capture the first 5 numbers, the next 3 numbers, FFF and J into 4 separate variables.
thanks much in advance. |

Sav, did you try my text exactly as I had it? The prompt="true" part is important. If you did, then perhaps the mud is actually putting both of those on at the same time, instead of at separate times as I thought.
I showed you how to capture an exact number of characters before. The pattern you need is &nn, where nn is the number of characters. In the XML I did early in this discussion, the ampersand is translated into "&" |

rahab: yup, i put it in exactly as you had it. it works perfectly, except for that instance. i'm pretty sure the mud sends it to me at exactly the same time. so i'm not sure how to split it if so.
rahab & cazador: thanks guys!
now that i've managed to capture the info i need correctly, i'll probably need help with extracting the data from the variables. i'll try it out on my own first though. thanks alot! |
