| I've tried to make a trigger to try to capture only names from output such as:
- (C) Zombie
- (I)(T)(G)(W) a young thief
- (R)(W) Fnor
- Tom
However, the problem is that there may be any number of (C), (I), (G), such things before the names. I've managed to capture the names such as Zombie, a young thief, and Fnor; however, I cannot find a way to capture the name Tom.
The following regexp trigger will capture Zombie, a young thief, and Fnor:
Now I thought I could modify it like this to capture Tom:
It does capture Tom, but now it also captures the parentheses all in the same wildcard.
Would anyone know how I could make a trigger to only capture the names from that list? |

| It would help to put in a sequence for the name that is what you are expecting rather than the "." symbol because that matches everything, including brackets. This one worked for me in all cases:
<triggers>
<trigger
custom_colour="2"
enabled="y"
match="^ \- (\([A-Z()]+\) )?([\w\s]+)"
regexp="y"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
</triggers>
This sequence here matches what is inside the brackets:
(\([A-Z()]+\) )?
It looks for the opening bracket, and then A-Z or other brackets, and then the closing bracket - and the space after it. The final ? means "0 or 1 of them" which allows for the case of Tom who has no brackets at all. |
