[Solved] Text Replace/Function Call
|
I have the following trigger:
| Code: |
| #trigger {(.*)} {#substitute %replace(%1, ^F, @randHigh())} |
and the following function:
| Code: |
| #function randHigh {#return %case(%random(1,4), %ansi(high, blue), %ansi(high, cyan), %ansi(high, green), %ansi(high, red))} |
This works well enough. It picks a random color from the 4 listed whenever there is an incoming ^F; however, it replaces all of the ^F it finds in that pass with the same color.
Would there be any way to make it choose a random color each time it encounters an ^F without changing the above-listed trigger? (it's part of a larger replacement trigger that I have as-of-yet been unable to find a better solution for). |

Something like this (throwing this together without testing):
| Code: |
$text = %1
#WHILE (%match($text,"\^F")) {
$pos = %match($text,"\^F")
$text = %delete($text,$pos,2)
$text = %insert($text,@randHigh())
}
#substitute $text

Ahh. What you want to do, is instead of replace, use subregex.
#trigger {(.*)} {#substitute %subregex(%1, "(\^F)", @randHigh())} |

No, %subregex will replace all of them identically, just like %replace.

Hmm, you're right. Because its calling the function.

However, there is a way around that. By delaying the point at which the function @RandHigh is expanded.
With quotes, like so:
#trigger {(.*)} {#substitute %subregex(%1, "(\^F)", "@RandHigh()")} |

I tried this, but it did not work. It simply replaced all instances with ^F with @randHigh() (literally, the text, @randHigh()). |

Really? It doesn't do that for me. It expands it just fine. Hmmm. Maybe a setting somewhere.

Try this one:
#trigger {(.*)} {#substitute %subregex(%1, "(\^F)", "@RandHigh")}
Or this one:
#trigger {(.*)} {#substitute %subregex(%1, "(\^F)", "%expand(@RandHigh)")}
This is probably the most likely variation to work:
#trigger {(.*)} {#substitute %subregex(%1, "(\^F)", %expand("@RandHigh()"))} |

This one worked just fine, thank you.
As a side note, this does not work with %replace(), only %subregex()...or at least in my experience thus far. |

Yeah, there's a slight difficulty with %replace turning it into a string and stopping it from further expansion, even %eval wouldn't expand it further, however, the %exec function was able to force it through some more expansion, so you ended up with:
#trigger {(.*)} {#substitute %exec(%replace(%1, "^F", "@RandHigh"))} |

Here's an even slicker way to do it:
#trigger {^F} {#sub {@randHigh()}}
Make sure the Repeat within line trigger option is checked. |
