Pattern matching on second word
|
Let's say I want to do a pattern match on a string of the following format: <mob name> of <area>, and extracting the mob name and area from the string. For example, the string could be "Townguard of Solace" and I want to get two variables with "Townguard" and "Solace".
I am currently using a pattern of (*) of (*) which works most of the time, except when the area has "of" in the name, for example with the string "Monster of Tomb of Horror" in which case my pattern will match with mob name of "Monster of Tomb" and area "Horror". How do I improve my trigger such that it will correctly parse the string to be "Monster" and "Tomb of Horror"? |

#TR {(*) of (*)} {#IF %pos( " of ", "%1") {#VAR mobname {%word( "%1", 1, " of ")};#VAR area {%right( "%1", %pos( " of ", "%1") + 3) of %2}} {#VAR mobname {%1};#VAR area {%2}}}
