I would really like the option to change targets easily if a new bad guy enters the room.
Problem is everyone changes their monikers constantly.
As an example I would capture:
Bad Bart the Terrible has just entered from the west.

(*) has just entered from the (%w).

The real name is Bart, the other stuff is just fluff.
I was thinking about something like the code below, it works as long as there is no fluff around the name.

#IF (%match( %expandlist( @enemylist), %1)) {newtarget = %1}

Im not real sure what to do.
Someone please point me in the right direction.

What about such pattern?

maybe if the first/last parts are on a set list you can do

You could perhaps use %pos(), but you'd probably need to somehow determine that the arrival wasn't a mob.

I thought about using the %pos function, so far this is all I got.

(*) has just entered from the (%w).

#forall @enemylist {#IF %pos(%1, %i)} {#show whoomp there it is}

It cycles though the list but doesnt seem to stop when It gets to the matching name.
Honestly I'm not too sure what this does, even if I did manage to get it to stop on the
correct name in the list, Im not too sure how to stick it into some new variable.
Again totally lost.

%i will contain each item in the list as it loops through (you even use it in your %pos function). If you want to stick it in some variable, just use the usual "variable = %i". To stop the loop in the middle, use the #break command. All together, it would look something like this:

Yep! got my mojo working once again. Thanks everyone.
Had to change it up just a tad, but this works.

#forall @enemylist {#var newtarg %i;#if %pos( @newtarg, %1) {#break}}
