I've got the following pattern capping tells:

You tell [a-z A-Z], '*'

It has the range as to collect names that are longer than one word such as "Jedi Master" or "Tic Tac Toe". Though in group the phrase is,

You tell the group, 'nod..gave to dalamar'

That causes "group tells" and "tells" to BOTH be capped in the tells window, where as I want group to #CAP to group window. It works for all other "group tell" syntax except this one cause they start the same. How can I make it to where it won't #CAP to the group window if it has the line

You tell the group, 'made it'

I've tried to this:

{^You tell the group}You tell [a-z A-Z], '*'

but doesn't seem to work. Seems my syntax for the "do not match string" must be wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks,

#TR {You tell (*), '*} {#IF ({%1} <> "the group") {#CAP tells} {#CAP group}}

Hrm. Excellent idea, and thanks for the response - but how do i fix this?

#IF ({%1} <> "the group") {#CAP tells} {#CAP group}


                          ^ syntax error

In case it's displayed incorrectly on your screen, the syntax error is pointing under the first "{" next to the "#CAP tells". Any ideas about this?

Sorry, I can't duplicate your error. Post it on the Beta forum.

The parser is a lot pickier in 6.37. Under that assumption, do you get any difference if you replaced {%1} with "%1"? Just because the syntax checker points to a particular spot, doesn't mean that's exactly where the error is.

C++ is infuriating like that, too.
