Using MSScript or Perl for triggers?
 
Hi... is there any help somewhere on how I can migrate to using Perl scripting or VBScript.

I've had experience with VBScript and am going to learn Perl. Thought this might be a good start.

Does anyone have some examples..or even exactly what capabilities are available?

I mean... from what it looks like i can set trigger patterns to use perl regular expressions...and then the action that happens to be perl code. Other than that..i'm not sure what else I can use.

Are there any examples of this or even some help files? I can't seem to find anything.

Thanks

Does nobody have any experience with this? Please?

I attempted to read the COM programming thing, which was linked from the New features page of Zmud. But that talks about creating objects then accessing them...for scripts WITHIN zmud..how do I do this? A simple example like reading/changing variables from zmud would be great? In any scrpiting language..Jscript, VbScript...perhaps even Perl which is what i'm going for.

Anyone? :)

A great reference for how to use PERL matching can be found at: http://www.regular-expressions.info/reference.html

Is this what you're looking for?
