Checking for an apostraphe
|
So, back when I was talking about my tells triggers, someone mentioned something about people who had names with a lovely '
However, I can't find that post. More and more I'm finding that my triggers are failing when they don't check.
C'lor tells you
wont get capture or ding
nor will
Roerik's
I could use a greedy modifier, but the other person made it sound like I didn't have to. So how can I check for them without the .* ? |

where do I insert that?
I usually use the regex, \w+
so... here's the tell capture...
^(\w+') tells you (?:\((\w+)\) )?'(.*)'$
put it in like that? |

You have at least read one of the many links that has been provided as a regex reference, right?! This pattern should do it.
| Code: |
| ^([\w']+) tells you (?:\((\w+)\) )?'(.*)'$ |
Perhaps it would be a good idea for you to save one of those links as a favorite. Try looking at it for the answers and if you don't understand then ask.

I have them linked, but as someone had already answered before and I simply couldn't find it, I was already on the board and posted.

Took what you suggested:
| Code: |
#REGEX Ding_on_Tell {^([\w'+]) tells you (?:\((\w+)\) )?'(.*)'$}
{
#play C:\WINDOWS\Media\ding.wav
} {General Triggers}
#REGEX "Tell Capture" {^([\w'+]) tells you (?:\((\w+)\) )?'(.*)'$} {#CAP Tells} {General Captures}
#REGEX You_Tell {^You tell [\w'+] (?:\((\w+)\) )?'(.*)'$} {#CAP Tells} {General Captures}
#REGEX G_Tell {^[\w'+] tells the group '.*'$} {#CAP Tells} {General Triggers}

You tell C'lor (Elvish) 'ooc: damn'
Was never captured. (He said fail because I've tested him with many attempts at this and he knows I've failed em all so he expects I'll fail)
I also tried without [ ] |

You really need to pay attention, chamenas. So many of the problems you're having are caused by your making small typos or mistakes, or not reading what people have written carefully. The + goes after the ], not before it.
Also, you don't need to get him to send you a live tell to test it:
#say {C'lor tells you (Elvish) 'ooc: Fail.' } |

Oh cripes! Yes, well I tend to do things in a rush. Trying to do a million things at once is bad.
