trig matching multiple times per line
|
got something like this:
A sharp-toothed gremlin#209277, a chaos orb#233372.
can be more than two or just one entry. What I'm trying to do is grab the <name>#<number> in a db variable
Got this pattern:
problem is it only matches once per line.. only grabbing the first occurance.. How can I make it grab all of them? |

Use a regex:
^(?:[^\#]+\#\d+[,\.]\s*)+$
Should match the line no matter how many examples are on it. You'll need to do some post-processing with the %replace function to get the names and numbers out (I did experiment with bracket-capturing in the regex but couldn't find a way that worked consistently), but that'll match the line properly. |
