Trigger on everything except...

I have a very basic trigger that will trigger on the following line:

* tells you *

and appends this to a notepad:

%1 told you %2


But there is one person (and only one person) that sends me tells that I do NOT want to append. Is there any way it can be omitted or squelched or whatever?

Sure, just do an ifcheck on %1 against the player name you don't want the tell from.

You can also do it with a regular expression. See:

Scroll down to the part about "negative lookbehind assertions".

For those of you who want to know how I did it:

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
keep_evaluating="y"
match="(.+)(?&lt;!asper) tells you (.*?)$"
name="stuff"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>AppendToNotepad "stuff", vbcrlf
AppendToNotepad "stuff", "%1 tells you %2"
AppendToNotepad "stuff", vbcrlf</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

Now Jasper will not activate the trigger.
