Regex for different amount of parameters
|
Is there any way to capture following lines with one regex?
Friend says 'target ogre'
Friend says 'target ogre 1'
Friend says 'target ogre mage' |

Hmm, why don't you simply check for just the common part of these messages, i.e. "Friend says 'target ogre" ?

Well, the following commands are:
#var target %1
use @attack_skill at @target |

That explains it. You should be able to do it with a perl regular expression though, check out: http://www.troubleshooters.com/codecorn/littperl/perlreg.htm
Something like:
^/.target $1'
This is just out of my head and I can't check it because I'm at work ... please don't blame me if it does not work. $1 is supposed to be your variable. |

Do you want %1 to be whatever you're targetting, such as "ogre mage"? If so, then you can do it with a single parameter:
| Quote: |
| #REGEX {^Friend says 'target (.*)'} {use @attack_skill at %1} |
If you want to seperate out the words to be different parameters, you can do:
| Quote: |
| #REGEX {^Friend says 'target (\w+)\s?(\w*)\s?(\w*)'} {use @attack_skill at %1 with %2;defend %3} |
If you need more than 3 parameters, tack on an extra "\s?(\w*)" for each potential parameter.
In short, the first \w has a + because you'll always have several letter (word) characters... each \s? is white space that may or may not be there, and each \w* is multiple letter characters that may or may not be there, with () to capture into parameters. |

Thanks mate, that works just fine. But.
zMUD seems to be bugging. When I store the parameter %1 which is for example 'ogre 1' it loses the '1' part of the parameter.
| Code: |
#REGEX {^Friend says 'target (.*)'} {#ECHO target is %1;#VAR target %1;ECHO target is now @target}
|
With line 'Friend says 'target ogre 1' gives echoes first 'target is ogre 1' and then 'target is ogre'. |
