BUG: Matching empty lines with Perl regular expressions
|
When trying to match empty lines with a trigger based on perl compatible regular expressions, a pattern like "^$" works quite well, e.g.
#REGEX {^$} {#Win Debug ::emptyline found}
To be a little more fault tolerant to the mud output, I want to trigger on lines with only whitespace too. In my oppinion "^\s*$" should do the job, so I expected the following trigger to work
#REGEX {^\s*$} {#Win Debug ::emptyline found}
The odd thing is, when I use the Test tab at the trigger, it keeps telling me that empty lines and whitespaces match the pattern.
However, it doesn't seem to work on mud output though. The trigger never fires on empty lines.
Does anyone experienced similar behaviour yet? Or did I miss the point somewhere?
TIA |

Try this:
| Code: |
| #regex {^\n} {#Win Debug ::emptyline found} |
