Name variable, NEW!
|
I know how to use (%W) to capure a person name as a variable, but how would I go about in tweaking it to allow dash character in the name? .. Like Al-Amaz .. or maybe A'Skkz

%x match any amount of non-white space
See the helpfile Pattern Matching for a complete list of wildcards.

I read the helpfile, but it still doesn't show me how to incorporate %x to %w, how do I do it so that it will have the regular one word and those space words?

Just use %x instead of %w.

but then do I still use %1 to call on the variable? I mean some people have pretitle like Sir Name, Duke Name, and you can't use the pretitle to call on them, that is why I use %w, umm, am I making sense? .. hehe

Yes. Use %1 to call the variable.
No. It won't match the pretitle.
Yes. You are making sense. So are we. Believe it or not, we actually understand what you are trying to do and know the answer. Use %x.
