Perl Regex Help Needed

[noblestone]

mocci the Troll is a 46th level Lord Warrior, was born on 2012/06/29, and was last logged in on Thu Aug 15 18:40:26 2013.

Set as perl regex

Added:

(\w+) the (\w+) is a (\w+) level (\d+) (\w+), was born on (\d+) / (\d+) / (\d+), <--- on perl regex

send("b " .. matches[2] .. "the" .. matches[3] .. "is a" .. matches[4] .. "level" .. matches[5] .. "" .. matches[6] ..", was born on" .. matches[7] .. "/" .. matches[8] .. "/" .. matches[9])


The echo wont spit out the information, what were I missing here? Thanks for the help in advance.

Try:

Code: Select all

(\w+) the (\w+) is a (\w+) level (\d+[st|nd|rd]) (\w+), was born on (\d+) / (\d+) / (\d+),

That will fix what you need to accomplish here, although if you want to actually properly capture the level, do take that into account.

[Belgarath]

You're matching (\d+) with nothing in that regex where Lord would be... and the date /'s are spaced. Also if you want to echo the information, then make sure you change that send() to an echo() or cecho().

Code: Select all

Pattern: (\w+) the (\w+) is a (\d+[st|nd|rd|th]) level (.+), was born on (\d+)/(\d+)/(\d+)

And the echo...

echo("\nb "..maches[2].." the "..matches[3].." is a "..matches[4].." level "..matches[5]..", and was born on "..matches[6].."/"..matches[7].."/"..matches[8])

Both of your suggestion haven't triggered anything, what I did was set up an trigger of anyone who types name.alt and it triggered my screen to enter name.alt to pull up the info. Hence another trigger, this one we are trying to solve.

send or echo wont work. Let me post snapshot here of what It looks like...

Your regex pattern is wrong.
You can use the highlighter option to visualize your capture groups or display(matches) to print the matches table.
Start off simple.

mocci the Troll is a 46th level Lord Warrior, was born on 2012/06/29, and was last logged in on Thu Aug 15
(\w+) the (\w+) is a (.*) level (.*), was born on (.*), and was last logged in on (.*)
display(matches) now looks like this:
"mocci the Troll is a 46th level Lord Warrior, was born on 2012/06/29, and was
last logged in on Thu Aug 15 18:40:26 2013.",
"mocci",
"Troll",
"46th",
"Lord Warrior",
"2012/06/29",
"Thu Aug 15 18:40:26 2013."
}

Still wont fire.

I listed in my perl regex box as following:
(\w+) the (\w+) is a (.*) level (.*), was born on (.*), and was last logged in on (.*)
listed in box below as following:
send("b "..maches[2].." the "..matches[3].." is a "..matches[4].." level "..matches[5]..", and was born on "..matches[6]..", and was last logged in on"..matches[7])

Also tried this:
display(matches)

To no avial. Wondering why...

Thanks

Well, just to be safe, put the display(matches) as the first line in the script (so it will happen even if there is an error somewhere else).

Heiko's regex works fine for me. Make sure you have the pattern set as a regex expression not something else. It should look like this

Capture.PNG (16.64 KiB) Viewed 6885 times

and it give these results

results.PNG (8.61 KiB) Viewed 6885 times

Oh, I meant I wanted to report in our buddy chat channel.

[Jor'Mox]

That is what the send line is supposed to do, yes?

Also, since you basically just want to send exactly what was matched, you can just use matches[1].

So, you could do this:

send("b " .. matches[1])
