Pattern Matching From a Var
|
Ok, heres the situation...
I have a list var, and I'm matching it in a trigger pattern.
#TRIG {{@List}} {bah}
Now, say George is part of the list...
How do I STOP it from triggering on Georgette? |

Use the pattern %q{@List}%q. %q is an analogue of the \b regex, which is a zero-length character. It matches the space between a word character (a-z0-9) and something that's not a word character (anything else). So it'll match George only if it's preceded by, say, a space or the beginning of the string. But %q doesn't match a character; it matches a space between characters, so anything you do with the match afterwards won't be screwed up by it.

Ok, I knew there was a way to do it, but I couldn't remember. Thanks Fang.
