Are special chars in the pattern the problem?
|
I am sure most of you guys will laugh at my inexperience, and yes, I have searched the forums for some info however *cough* prolly brackets give the same problem also there *cough* ... er... here goes:
#var tmp_1 {(road).}
#var tmp_2 {"A bend in the street (road)."}
#say @tmp_1
#say @tmp_2
#say %match(@tmp_2,@tmp_1)
#unvar tmp_1
#unvar tmp_2
does not match (returns 0) while this does (!)...
#var tmp_2 {"A bend in the road."}
#say @tmp_2
#say %match(@tmp_2,"~(road~)")
#unvar tmp_2
So, I am not sure how to match "(road)".
Thanks for your help.

Why not use %regex instead?
Seems to me like you're wanting to match "(road)" within a room name which would be stored in @tmp_2. This ought to do that for you.

#unvar mLength
#say %regex(@tmp_2,"\(road\)",mLength)
#say @mLength
|
In your first example, this should produce:
In your second example, it should produce:

I cant work it out with match
but this will do a literal match with any string in @tmp_1
| Code: |
| %regex(@tmp_2,<%subregex(@tmp_1,"([\\^\.\$\|\(\)\[\]])","\%1")>) |
