Pattern Matching: Not at beginning of a line
|
Hey all,
Is there a way to make a trigger fire similar to matching at the beginning of a line, but match only if its NOT at the beginning of a line? Same thing for end of line.[/code] |

There's no patternmatching construct for it, but you can test for this using %begins() and %ends().

You could do it with a regex trigger, like so:
| Code: |
| #REGEX {.+YOURPATTERNHERE.+} {YOURCODEHERE} |
In a regular expression "." is a wildcard for any character, and "+" means at least one instance of the preceding pattern. So .+ means "at least one character". Putting that before your pattern guarantees that your pattern will not match the start of the line, and similarly for putting it after your pattern.
[edit]Note that if you used wildcards or other expressions in your pattern, you will have to translate those to regular expressions, too. See the help under #REGEX. |
