Forums Scripts & Popups sockopen expression

on $*:sockopen:/sock./:{
' do whatever
}

that is meant to trigger for socketnames like

sock.394545
sock.545454
rsock.45435435
rsock.45454554

etc..

but it is also triggering for this:
socklist.45435435
socklist.03839354

how can i stop it triggering the above 2 style socketnames?

In regex, the . character means "any character". To use a literal . you must escape it like this: \.

on $*:SOCKOPEN:/sock\./:{

However, in this case, there is no reason to use regex. A simple wildcard would be sufficient.

on *:SOCKOPEN:sock.*:{

-genius_at_work

what about rsock.45435435

*sock.*
