coloring words in parentheses
|
I'm having difficulty coming up with a trigger that will color certain words in parentheses -- without coloring the parentheses themselves.
E.G. my mud puts a flag on controlled mobs that puts "(controlled)" in front of their description.
#trigger ~(controlled~) {#cw bold, magenta}
will color both the word "controlled" and the parens.
#trigger ~(controlled~) {#cw {controlled} bold, magenta}
and
#trigger ~(controlled~) {#cw controlled bold, magenta}
will cause the word controlled to be highlighted anywhere it appears, both inside and outside of parens. I only want it colored when it's in parens, but I don't want the parens colored.
Suggestions? |

never mind -- I figured it out ... hafta use a #cond in reparse mode
#trigger inparens {~(*~)}
#cond inparens {controlled} {#cw bold,magenta} {reparse}
#cond inparens {Red Aura} {#cw red} {reparse}
#cond inparens {Blue Aura} {#cw blue} {reparse} |

have you looked at the #PCOL command? I believe it moreorless does exactly what you were looking for.

Just another way with #PCOL, no reparsing
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {~((*)~)} {#IF (%1 = "Red Aura") {#PCOL red %x1}
#IF (%1 = "Blue Aura") {#PCOL blue %x1}
#IF (%1 = "controlled") {#PCOL 13 %x1}}

On #SHOW This is a (Red/Blue Aura,controlled) testing 1 2 3:
This is a (Red Aura) testing 1 2 3
This is a (Blue Aura) testing 1 2 3
This is a (controlled) testing 1 2 3 |
