| I'm brand new to regular expressions. I've read http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/regexp.htm and I'm having trouble visualizing what I need. How can I ignore the white space and simplify this to not worry about spacing?
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^\| Type \: (.*?) Level \: (.*?) \|$"
regexp="y"
script="capture_type_level"
>
</trigger>
I am extracting the data from the "ID pearl" command on aardwolf. Here is an example.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------+

| Wearable : neck |

| Use \s+ to match one or more spaces.
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^\| Type\s+\: (\w+)\s+Level\s+\:\s+(\d+)\s+\|$"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
Note ("Type = %1")
Note ("Level = %2")
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.
|
Also if you know you are expecting digits you can use \d+ (one ore more digits). The above worked on your test data. |
