Using wildcards with %replace?
 
Hey guys, making sure I'm not crazy.

I'm trying to use a wildcard in the %replace() function, but it isnt' seeming to work. I've tried the following:

Code:
%replace($item.$loop.name,"a "*" doll of Luciano","")
%replace($item.$loop.name,"a "(%*)" doll of Luciano","")
%replace($item.$loop.name,"a "[A-Z][a-z]+" doll of Luciano","")


None of those seemed to work, so am I just out of luck and going to have to have a $replace() for each of the various states of the doll?

You'll want to use %subregex instead.

Code:
%subregex($item.$loop.name, "a \w+ doll of Luciano")


This is, of course, if I understood your intentions correctly and you're wanting to remove the entire line. If there's something else you're trying to do, give us an example of what it's SUPPOSED to do.

I want it so that I just get Luciano out of it. However, I just discovered %numword(), and %word(), so I was able to do it cleaner!
