triggers, wild cards
|
This is more then likely a easily answered stupid question.. But...
v6.16
How can you set up a trigger so that i'll recognize (even paste to file, which i can get that to work. ;)) the entire line. with spaces, punctuation and all
say...
Ex:
Blah blah blah 5:
Hrmm, spaces and punctuation, my trigger dunna wanna werk.
#trigger {blah blah blah (%d):$(This part)
Would like the second line to werk. seeing as how there could or could not be ,'s and the number of ,'s varies.
would rather not have 3 dozen conflicting triggers that all fight for being annoying. ;)
Thankeys. |

You can use the (undocumented?) %* wildcard that'll match anything - including special zMUD characters like # and ; - but be warned, it gets easy for someone to send you "the value is ;drop all;quit; 127 gold" and really mess with your charater. Tightly restrict use of this wildcard.

Spaces and punctuation should be no problem with a trigger of either
#TR {Blah blah blah (%d):$(*)$}
or
#TR {Blah blah blah (%d):$(%*)$}
Again, the %* captures special characters as well and can have many undesirable effects unless handled properly. |

I can attest that %* does indeed capture spaces, but since it's not apparently working for you perhaps you can provide an example?

Pattern; $
Command: #CAP Other
or maybe use #WINDOW Other
Either way, I think that will capture every line from the mud output, but I don't see why you would want to do that, unless I am missing something. If you want to capture all the lines, why not just use the #LOG command?
