Zugg Software :: View topic - how to fire a trigger more than once per line

Hi,

I wonder, if it's possible to let a trigger fire more than once per line.
I need to count all words in a line which begin with a capital.
eg. "This Is a Testline" would give 3 capitalized words.

But my trigger just fires once per line and I always get "1".
#TRIGGER {([A-Z][a-z])} {#ADD count 1} "" {case}

No, you can't do it except for some very specific triggers, involving some very specific comamnds. You are going to have to match the entire line and then parse the line to count how many words begin with a capital letter.

Thank you for your answer, Kjata

I understand .. how do I parse the line then?
I tried the "reparse" option but it fires also once a line only.

#TRIGGER {([A-Z][a-z])} {}
#COND {([A-Z][a-z])} {#ADD count 1} {reparse}

Any Idias?

You don't need a multiple-state trigger for this. Just match the entire line and surround the entire thing in (). Then do something like this for the code:

#Forall %replace(%1," ","|") {#if (%i=%proper(%i)) {#add UpperCase 1} {#noop this is not a capitalized word}}

Another Question: this trigger works perfectly if, but it parses only the first line?
Zmud seems to throw lines away if they are coming to fast? right?

#TRIGGER {(*[A-Z][a-z]*)} {#FORALL %replace( %1, " ", "|") {#if (%i=%proper( %i)) { #ADDI SubList %i} {}}} "" {case|notrig}

This is already answered in the other thread you made about this just 30 minutes after posting this reply here, but use the #PRIORITY command.
