Some help with regex

2006-07-18T14:47:37-04:00

Just going by the docs and my own observations:

An ARE is one or more branches, separated by `|', matching anything that matches any of the branches.

A branch is zero or more constraints or quantified atoms, concatenated. It matches a match for the first, followed by a match for the second, etc; an empty branch matches the empty string.

Code:

% regexp {moo|m00|m0o} moo1% regexp {moo|m00|m0o} mo00% regexp {moo|m00|m0o} m0o1% regexp {moo|m00|m0o} m001

are you sure about your previous statement rosc2112?

tcl's regex uses | to *concatenate* strings, not OR them..Maybe that's your problem? It also uses () to capture a segment for reporting... And there's also a -nocase option, so you don't need to search for various cases of "WB"

Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a different animal to any mIRC "script".

I suggest you read Tcl Built-In Commands - regexp manual page.

the pattern work in my mirc script. Unless the tcl regex engine is very different from the on used in mirc, it should work

hmm, I don't see a difference in that code and the one I have myself

There isn't. I pasted it for the information of others. I am not an expert regexp person but at first glance that looks like it would never function.

there is a problem with the regex I think. It doesn't give me any errors, but it does not do anything even though I know the line of text matches the regex pattern

This is my first go at tcl, so bear with me.

I'm having some problems with a regex function. If someone could take a look at it for me, I would be gratefull

The code is kind of long, so I won't paste it here. Take a look at pastebin for it

Thanks again
