capture trigger help
|
I am trying to make a identify spell catcher to send info to my db. I can capture all the info, but in one part of the information, I am having trouble. The display can vary and I compensated for most of the info shown, but on the enchantments on gear, it can alternate between several lines and one line. Here are a few examples.

weighing approximately 6 lbs. Protection is inferior vs. Pierce, inferior
vs. Bash and inferior vs. Slash. It is of average quality and is worth
approximately 99 silver. It bears an enchantment to slightly increase magic
resistance. It bears an enchantment to slightly increase magical energy

weighing approximately 2 lbs. It is of above average quality and is worth
approximately 251 silver. It bears an enchantment to slightly increase

I can catch each one individually if I am testing and know what to expect. And I tried making several triggers, which kind of works, but they interfere with each other. For example...
| Code: |
It bears an enchantment to (*)
It bears an enchantment to (*$*) |
The first example gets in the way with the others because it catches the first line, then it messes the whole thing up. Is there any way to make just one trigger to do it all? I tried and my attempts so far are futile. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sure. Start by capturing everything to a variable. I am going to assume a blank line will denote then of the identify text since you didn't include anything useful in your examples.
#TRIGGER " IDCapture" {^This is (a{n|} *)$} {IDCap="%1"}
#CONDITION {} {#IF (%line="") {#STATE IDCapture 3;#SET IDCapture 3 1} {IDCap=%concat(@IDCap," ",%line)} {looplines|param=10}
#CONDITION {*} {#STATE IDCapture 0;#ECHO IDCapture failed, number of capture lines exceeded.}
#CONDITION {} {IDCapture=%replace(%replace(%replace(@IDCap,". ","|"),". ","|")," "," ");#NOOP Further processing here} {manual}
Now the further processing section noted in bold can almost always be managed entirely by replaces. You may want to use a #FORALL to handle processing the enchantments. It will be helpful to record them in the database as a list. They seem like they might be seperate additions to the base item, that a player could affect; and therefore you want your fields to be able to query and compare in such a fashion that all enchantments are ignored. |

Thanks, I am going to have to break that all down to understand how it works, then I should be able to implement it. Not an expert scripter just yet. ;) Thanks for the help Vijilante.
