Pattern Matching in an IF statement
|
I'm trying to write a trigger that captures the who list for a mud and puts it into a string list.
The who list looks something like:
>who
person 1
person 2
person 3
3 players
This is the code I have so far:
#TRIGGER "trgWhoList" {>who$} {#VAR WhoList ""}
#COND "trgWhoList" {(*)} {#ADDITEM WhoList "%1";#IF {~"%d players" = %1} {#STATE trgWhoList 0}} "" {looplines|param=99}
Everything works fine up until the point where I try to reset the trigger back to state 0 (in bold above). I can't seem to find the right pattern that will match the line "3 players". What am I doing wrong? |

Try this, change your bold statement to:
#IF (%match("%1", "%d players")) {#STATE trgWhoList 0} |

You might want to do your check for the last line before you add a name to the WhoList variable. Also, I think that the syntax you were trying to use should look something like this:
| Code: |
| #IF ("%1" =~ "%d players") {#STATE trgWhoList 0} |

I am just creating this to display in the status window so I'd rather pick up the total anyway.
