#Regex....Multiline Triggers.....how do they work?
|
Basically what I am trying to do is take this text :
*****************************
Though too far away for you to accurately perceive details, Whoever is in
Whereever.
*****************************
The asterix's aren't in the Mudd text, just seperating it
And I want to be able to store the 'whereever' in a variable to I can get at it with another alias. Now, since it's multiline, I found some #Regex stuff, but I can't make heads or tails of it, and need some help if anyone could lend a hand.
So in total, what I'd like is that it stores 'whereever' in a variable and 'whoever' as well if possible.
Thanks ahead of time. |

| Code: |
| #REGEX {^Though too far away for you to accurately perceive details, (?person:.+) is in\n(?location:.+)\.$} |
The ^ forces the match to begin at the start of a line
\n tells the match that it's a new line
using (?:variable:.+) assigns the captured text straight to a variable.
$ forces the match to end at the end of a line
So the one above will match
Though too far away for you to accurately perceive details, whoever is in
wherever.
assigning 'whoever' to a variable called person, and 'wherever' to a variable called location.
Hope that's what you're after.
A good way to get used to using Regex is to make the triggers normally, then use convert and get used to which bits change.

Hrm a decent page that I found that explains the basics of REGEX very simply is
http://www.regular-expressions.info
It is way easier to understand than the web site given in the Zmud help files.
