coloring an exact pattern
|
ok, I know how to color words. But I can't get it to color the word if it's only by itself.
I'm using the trigger:
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {{@en}} {#CW %eval(%color(red)+%color(hi))}
|
And while this does color the word's I want it to. It colors the word even if it's in the middle of another word. For example...
I have the word 'orc' in the list, so I want it to only highlight orc if it's by itself, not if it's in the middle of a word or name like, 'authorcan', or even if it's at the end or beginning of a word. I tried changing the trigger to this....
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {~ {@en}~ } {#CW %eval(%color(red)+%color(hi))}
|
and that works for most things. But when the word I want highlighted is the first word in the sentence and there's no space it won't highlight it. Like if some one is entering or leaving a room.
Not sure if I'm being very clear with this so if I'm not please let me know. Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do? |

Use %q. For example{%q@en%q}.

%q worked perfectly, thank you. However when I put it inside the brackets it crashed cmud... so I just put them on the outside and everything seems to work just fine.
