Trubble with putting text with ['s to variable.
|
For some time now I have been using ansi trigger to capture my roomnames, the same trigger adds the entire roomname and exits to a variable.
I was making minor changes to the trigger and suddenly the ['s and ]'s disappeard from the variable that I store the name to.
The text I get from the mud is:
| Code: |
| Sea of Hylar[32m [n,e,s,w,d][0m. |
And before that is what got enterd into the variable.
But now the variable only contains:
| Code: |
| Sea of Hylar[32m n,e,s,w,d[0m. |
I have made no changes at all to the line which adds to the variable, which follows:
How do I make it work again?
I have tried %quote but it does not work.
The name sent to the mapper has change the same way, the line is:

The characters '[' and ']' are special characters in zMud. If you're matching on them you can use '~' to match explicitly. If you just the value, then on your trigger check the options and make sure the option for 'Verbatim' is selected.

Perhaps you missunderstood me. The trigger fires, it's just that not the entire string gets added to the variable.
If anyone wonders, the trigger pattern is:
| Code: |
| ^((*){|$}%e[{|0;}32m ~[(*)~]%e[0m.)$ |
|

You problem stems from early expansion of %1...%99 variables. To get around this, either play around with the %expand() function or remove the outermost set of parentheses and either stuff all the ansi code/plain text into one of the two remaining sets of parentheses or rebuild the string you want using %concat().
#trigger {^(*){|$}%e[{|0;}32m ~[(*)~]%e[0m.$} {
blah blah blah
CurrentRoom = %concat("%1", "%e[32m ~[", "%2", "~]%e[0m.")
blah blah blah
