Zugg Software :: View topic - Matching pattern with comma (,) in a list

Novice Joined: 08 Dec 2005 Posts: 35 Location: Sweden

I match what I see on a line with a list of possible names like this:

^~<(%n)/(%n)hp 100/100m ~> (*)

Then depending on where I am (which I keep track of with the variable @stage) I want to keep going if the pattern in the (*) matches one of several rooms.

Ex:
#if (@stage == "midennir")&(%ismember( %3, A Creepy Corridor|Heart of the Black Forest|A Long, Cavernous Tunnel)) {walkpath}

The problem I have is that "A Long, Cavernous Tunnel" doesn't set the pattern off, despite being recorded properly. The comma is sorta grayed out in the trigger I think, so I'm guessing it's because the listing interprets the comma incorrectly. I tried adding (), {} or [] around the entire line with no success, as well as using ~ before the comma. I also tried putting the listed names in a variable and compare %3 to those, but that didn't work either.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

I worked around it with extra triggers

like
#trigger {^~<(%n)/(%n)hp 100/100m ~> A Long, Cavernous Tunnel} {walkpath}

But that's not a generic solution to this problem :3 Any ideas?

The problem is you did not single out your anonymous variable with quotes or curly braces to signify it is all one item.
If that doesn't work, try:
%match(%3, {A Creepy Corridor|Heart of the Black Forest|A Long, Cavernous Tunnel})
