Pattern matching.
|
I've come into a problem, I have the following pattern that I want to get variables from:
&Name the &Race (*)
It will fire on for example:
Scarn the edain Bear-Spirit
However it also fires on any sentence with "the" as the second word. In an ideal situation I
would something like
&Name the {edain|elven|dwarven}(*)
This would allow it to only fire on the text I need it to, but if I am using "match pattern", how
do I save it to the Race variable? |

Apparently I have been getting patterns wrong all this time, I've sorted it using the following method:
| Code: |
| ^%w the ({edain|elven|dwarven})(*) |
I then use the following to capture the variables and achieve the aim!
| Code: |
name = %1
race = %3
