My current trigger: ^(*)

Captures both 1) and 2).

I was hoping to trigger only on 1) which ends without "." or any puncutation. Can any teach me how to do it?

1)
Jacobs hand

2)
Jacobs hand.

If it's the end of line, then make it #TR {Jacobs hand$}

Use {^string} to NOT match something. So I guess you would need ^(*){^.}$ give it a try and see what happens.

In fact don't give it a try and see what happens, do use that trigger pattern (because it does what you want) but make sure you turn off the trigger on trigger option before you save it.

Thanks Taz,

It works! Now my mapping #Tag Name is must more sharper, but I have the following questions.

1) I tried changing {^.}$ to {^?} and it doesn't work. :(

2) How do I get it not to match a list of strings? Other than ".", I like to include "?", "/", "\".

try {^~?}

I think in triggers the ? is a special regex char or something. the ~ will make it so that you are looking for the actual ?

Ok well it is easier to produce something like that using regex so use the following pattern ^(.*)[^.?\\/]$ and make sure you tick the Perl regular expression tick box directly under the Pattern: input box.
