Why does my Regex never seem to work...
|
Ok, so a standard form of the prompt would be something such as this...
<382/382h 290/290m 1813e 1350w 28x <ebpp> <bd>>
Format being <(health/maxhealth)h (mana/maxmana)m (endurance)e (willpower)w (experience)x <(balance/equilibrium, etc)> <(blind deaf flying prone etc.)>
Using a previous propmt regex I had similar to this I thought I designed it correct off of it but I can't seem to get any pattern to match
As it stands the design I have is...
^\<(\d+)\/(/d+)\h (\d+)\/(\d+)\m (?:\d+)\e (?:\d+)\w (?:\d+)\x \<(.*?)\> \<(.*?)\>\>
The pattern test is coming up as
<123//dabc123 123/123abc123 ?:123 ?:123abc ?:123abc123 <abc 123 xyz?> <abc 123 xyz?>>
No matter how much I play with regex, despite my love for its beautiful potential and use, I can never really manage to understand why I encounter problems with it, and I just want to thank anyone who helps me in advance! |

You've got a forward slash before one of the 'd's, and you have far, far, too many backslashes. \e, \w, and \x all have meanings in REs. And the rest are just superfluous.
Use:
| Code: |
| ^<(\d+)/(\d+)h (\d+)/(\d+)m (?:\d+)e (?:\d+)w (?:\d+)x <(.*?)> <(.*?)>> |
instead.
BTW, this is the online reference I use for RE syntax. |
