| Hi, I am trying to create a roller for a mud I play.
Unfortunately scripting is something I suck at so I could use some help.
The input is:
Rolled: str [18(0)] int [10] wis [16] dex [10] con [17] cha [14]
Do you want to keep these stats? [Y/N]
The output, as you probably guessed should be if those numbers are higher than something y, otherwise n

| | There is at least one example of that on the forum, maybe more. Search it for "stat roller" I think. |

| Well, I found one example, http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=604 but I am having some problems with it.
First the trigger: If I understand correctly mine should look something like this:
^\s*\R\o\l\l\e\d\:\s*\s\t\r\s*\[(\d+)\((\d+)\)\]\s*\i\n\t\s*\[(\d+)\]\s*\w\i\s\s*\[(\d+)\]\s*\d\e\x\s*\[(\d+)\]\s*\c\o\n\s*\[(\d+)\]\s*\c\h\a\s*\[(\d+)\]$
Unfortunately it doesn't work.
Did I miss something? | | Top |

| Umm. You seem to be a bit confused about what \ does. This character is used to define 'special' situations. For instance \d means 'any numeric digit). Thus your trigger should be:
^\s*Rolled:\s*str\s*[(\d+)\((\d+)\)]\s*int\s*[(\d+)]\s*wis\s*[(\d+)]\s*dex\s*[(\d+)]\s*con\s*[(\d+)]\s*cha\s*[(\d+)]$
or something like that. This would break down to:
^ - start of line
\s* - one or more spaces
Rolled: - Literal letters, having no 'special' meaning.
\s* - one or more spaces
[ - the '[' character
(\d+) - return as a wildcard one or more numeric digits.
\( - the '(' character
...
By using \ in front of every character you where actually telling it to use every single one as a 'command', instead of as a letter. Only special ones like \, [, (, +, ?, * and a few others 'require' the '\' in front of them when you intend them to be letters instead of commands, since those have special meanings when used without a '\'. | | Top |

| | You need a backslash in front of the [ as well as the other places, otherwise the [ has a different meaning (creates a set). |

| | God, just use a normal expression, it's not that regex will be THAT important in a roller... Why have [d+] when * will do just as well? You don't have to be that precise... |
