getting one word from a * matched pattern
|
Ok I need to know if this is possible and how it can be done if this is possible
Some names Are just one word- Jeff
Some names have a pretitle with one or two words- The Great Jeff
some names have a postitle- Jeff, the assassin
and some have both- The Great Jeff, the Assissin
Now my trigger captures all versions of the name but I want to know from there if it is possible to remove the pretitle if its there remove the post title and comma (they always follow a comma)if its there (the name is always right before the comma on the posttitle) and then take the single word name left and remove the last letter so that in all four cases I end up with Jef stored
This Version here will work great on the first two examples
| Code: |
| %copy( %word( {%1}, %numwords( {%1})), 1, %len( %word( {%1}, %numwords( {%1})))-1) |
but it won't work for postitles |

Ok I finaly have it doing what I want so heres a short breakdown
| Code: |
| #var no_title {%copy( %word( %word( "%1", 1, ","), %numwords( %word( "%1", 1, ","))), 1, %len( %word( %word( "%1", 1, ","), %numwords( %word( "%1", 1, ","))))-1)} |
#tri {(*) asks you, 'orb'} {make orb;give orb @no_title(%1)}
so now when
The Great Jeff, the assassin asks you, 'orb'
make orb
give orb Jef |

Just out of curiosity, why do you need it to be Jef instead of Jeff?
