| So I am trying to make a redirect trigger that when a certain event comes up, it redirects it to Gammon's Chat Redirector. I've added a few things specific to my MUD, but one that I can't seem to figure out goes something like this:
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^[(.*?)\Bonus +(.*?)*$]"
regexp="y"
script="redirect"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>
I'm trying to match anything within the [ Bonus + ], but I believe I'm using the wrong character to signify the bonus obtained, or that the syntax in the match is messed up itself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. | | Top |

If you are trying to match something actually in square brackets you need to put a backslash in front of them.
eg. to match [Bonus] you would need to match on:

| | Also, in your original example, '$]' probably isn't what you want; the $ is an end-of-line anchor. ']$' is what I expect you meant. |

| I'd try this one instead, because I doubt he's interested in the space just before 'Bonus':
\[(?:(.*?) )Bonus(?: \+(\d+))?\]$

Regular expressions
- Regular expressions (as used in triggers and aliases) are documented on the Regular expression tips forum page.
- Also see how Lua string matching patterns work, as documented on the Lua string.find page.

I was feeling lazy and didn't want to unnecessarily make it more complicated since he presumably would try to take it apart. =p | | Top |

| Nah. The first one that was supplied worked, however, there is no plus in the matches for [Exp Bonus], so the plus sign should be omitted. I figured it would look like,
