Text Parsing/Recognition
|
Greets everybody,
I was wondering if it is possible to parse a single line of text from the mud and extract a value and put it into a variable for me.
The text is below:
Name: [A Glowing Ball, engraved with A Silver Raven and two swords above its Head.]
Area: [ 148] Shadow Guild Area
Vnum: [24300]
Type: [light]
Level: [ 1]
Wear flags: [take hold]
Extra flags: [glow dark evil]
Guild: [darkwarder]
Material: [soft metal] <-----
Condition: [ 100]
Weight: [ 8]
Cost: [ 400]
Short desc: A Glowing Ball, engraved with a Silver Raven and two swords above its head
Long desc:
This glowing ball is engraved with a Silver Raven and Two Swords above its head.
Number Modifier Affects
------ -------- -------
[ 0] 5 damroll
[v2] Light: [2]
--------------------------
I need to parse the line with the arrow next to it out so that I can take the text inside the []s out and put it into a variable. Ultimately I would like to have Material [*] and match that text and then have material=%1 and store that so I can edit and have the material placed back as it was.
Thanks in advance

make a trigger:
Material: [*]
Command:
#VAR material %1
Unless I'm missing something in your post.
Killing a fly on a friends forhead may not be overkill, use a hatchet to make sure the job is done. |

Ok, I just tried that and ZMud triggers don't recognize the brackets []s. I've tried using the wildcards * and ? but those are only for alphanumerics.

#trigger {Material: ~[(*)~]} {#noop do your stuff here}
Notice the tildes (~) preceding the brackets, they tell zmud to treat them as normal text characters and not as the special-function symbols ZMud uses.

Since you might have more than one word for Material, as in your example, better put quotes or braces around %1 in the variable command.
#TR {^Material: ~[(*)~]} {material = "%1"}
