help with a capture
 
Im having a problem with a capture with asterisks "*", or other symbols that appear beside numbers/letters.
the function of them appearing and disappearing is based on a skill related to that symbol (*, +, -, etc)

i will show you an example of this, and hopefully someone can show me how to make 1 capture dor when it IS there and when its NOT



CL: [*54.31%] is this CL~:%s~[([*])([0-9.])~%~]

my script for this

#gag
priest.beseech=%pos("*", %1)
priest.cleanse=%2
#IF (@priest.beseech>0&&@combat=="on"&&@priest.cleanse>=98) {beseech}

can someone please show me how to make a capture work for this when the asterisk (any symbol/letter/number) that is not always there?

thanks in advance!

For things that may not be there, you need an anonymous variable list that includes a %null value.

In this case: {~*|}
That is a literal asterisk, which may not be there.

I never did get this fixed but i have a similar issue but a bit more complicated only due to the randomness of what is missing and what is showing.
I'll put a bit of it up here:

Quote:
Capture:


there are quite a few other possible item inside this hpbar function as well.

I need a way to use the "[ [ ] ]" and captuire whatever comes whenever it comes, i've yet to make a way to do this. If anyone can help, i'd much appreciate it.

heh i dont understand why double brackets aren't showing when i submit this... [ [ ] ] together... are on both sides of that capture

But what is the issue with the capture now? It worked on my local testing.

Use the code tags instead of the quote tags to force it to show literal strings and padded whitespace.

#TR {~[~[Capture: (*)~]~]} {do something}
