%match function
|
I am trying to use the %match function with a stringlist but I can't get it to work. I am not sure if I found a bug or I am not matching it correctly. The link below is the post to the issue. If I could get a guru to look at this post it would be greatly appreciated.

From the other post:
| Quote: |
| #IF (%match(%i,"^(@stutterlist)*",$matched)) { |
Remember that in CMUD, @variables are NOT EXPANDED WITHIN " QUOTES! Also, to match an OR-list in a pattern, you need to put {} around the list. So if you want to expand the string list and pass it to the %match function, you need to do this:
| Code: |
| #IF (%match(%i,%concat("^({",@stutterlist,"})*"),$matched)) { |
Trigger patterns automatically compile their pattern and expand string lists, etc. But the %match (or %regex) functions do not...they just take a simple string argument for the pattern. |

Thanks Zugg!!! I thought I tried that before. I just checked it and I had the parenthesis and {} backwards.
How about making sure the "th" matches on a word instead of "t". I thought that would fix my problem but it doesn't. :( |

You might want to use %regex instead of %match and then use regular expression wildcards such as \b to match word boundaries. Or, in the CMUD pattern within %match you should be able to use %q for word boundaries.

Thanks. I tried the script again and the match does work. I might have been using a copy of my script that was causing the issue. I'll have to remove the backup to make sure I don't do it again. :)
