Answered: Capture trigger - How to grab [$]
|
I have tried what I could figure out to capture this: [$]
But when I use it, it captures ALL text from the MU*.
I have tried using \ as a delimiter, but that does not seem to work.
I have tried putting it inside of quotes: "[$]" and it does not work.
I tried disabling the use of [] in the preferences as well.
What am I doing wrong? |

The problem with $ is that it is a special character. When seen in a trigger command it means <EOL>. So it will try to match your pattern ending at the $ as the end of a line.
If your $ is in a specific place you can capture it easily with ~$
the ~ character is used to force trigger to use a character literally.
Another angle would be to substitute them out for something that isn't a special character. Unfortunatelly with zMud most every symbol is a special character of some kind or another.
#TRIGGER {~$} {#SUB {-}}
That would arbitrarily replace all dollar signs with a dash. |

The ~ did work well. I'll have to remeber that.
I could have sworn I used \ as the delimiter before.
Thanks. |

If you make it a regular expression trigger, \$ should work the way ~$ does for a normal trigger.
