using a trigger pattern for a #if test case
|
so I want to be able to execute a segment of code using a trigger patter for the test case of a #if statement. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. I assume that it would involve something like this:
#if (#trigger [yada yada yada]) {do something}
I just keep getting syntax errors when I write the code. Any help would be awsome.
Thanks in advance

Nope, but you have two options:
#if ("string to be tested" ~= "pattern to test for") {} {}
#if (%match("string to be tested","pattern to test for")) {} {}
%match() also allows you to directly fill variables with captured information, so it's very convenient if you know the pattern will match and merely need to extract the information (thus no need for an #IF command). |
