Zugg Software :: View topic - Using Zmud trigger parse expressions... {item|item|item}

is there a way to check for something like space, or no space?
I want to make triggers with optional params, but I would like to not use (*)

ie:
@leader: assist
@leader: assist joe

I would like to write something like
@leader:{ |}(%w) or @leader:{ (%w)|}
([space]word|[or nothing])

I guess I could settle for regex, 1 space 1 word optional...
but since I am not using any regex I wanted to keep everything uniform.

There's an option, somewhere, to enable wildcards inside {item|item}. It's disabled by default.

However, there are some things that regex is simply better at. Why not use it where it's useful?

Oh well, I've had like thousands of lines of zmud script dating all the way back to the early 90's
regex I don't know existed back then...
and I'm not so great at regex so...
I was just saying,

I don't so much need wildcards inside lists, (it should be on)
but what I want is...
a trigger, that accepts params optionally,
but if I code in for the space, the space is required...

so
@leader: heal
or
@leader: heal joe

where heal would default the spell target to myself.
the heal joe would heal joe...
if I do
#trig {@leader: heal (%w)}
the word is optional (%1 will be empty)
but the space between is not...

I said I will throw some regex in here if I have to, I just wondered if there was a zmud syntax to do it,
{ |""} doesn't work, etc.

{whatever|} should work - but if not, just use a regex. You can learn about them here.
