help with triggers using white space before numeric value
|
Hi,
I'm having some troubles creating triggers to keep track of my herbs.
They are used to update the values of some variables. Whenever i check my rift, the screen would look something like this:
| Code: |
[1367] bayberry bark [ 16] bellwort flower [ 117] black cohosh
|
To capture the numeric values, I've tried the following triggers:
| Quote: |
~[&%dcohosh~] black cohosh
~[%s&%dcohosh~] black cohosh
|
Since some fields are started with one or more spaces, I prefer the second one. However, for fields like the bayberry above. The %s is too much, %d only captures the last number then.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance! |

try using
{|%s}
rather than just %s
That will match anything with any number of spaces or no spaces
so
~[{|%s}&%dcohosh~] black cohosh |

Didn't think of that one.. thanks for the suggestion!
However, i doesn't seem to work. Within my alias i get the following error:
| Quote: |
#TRIGGER {~[{|%s}&%dcohosh~] black cohosh} {} concoctions
^ syntax error

I edited your post to use code tags instead of quote so we could see the actual spacing. Since they all have 4 spaces I would suggest using a fixed width pattern.
#TRIGGER {~[(&4)~] black cohosh} {#VARIABLE cohosh {%trim("%1")}} concoctions |
