Forums Scripts & Popups Can this be expanded?

Currently I have which works fine, if the person enters the exact match for the network, but I was wondering if there was a way (preferably easy) to allow for a partial match (eg: Pleasure would match Pleasurenet) and still allow for multiple networks to be passed through the single variable.

Unless I'm doing my tests incorrectly, when I test your solution, hixxy, I keep getting an insufficient parameters error
I'm testing using


What I want, is for the code to return 1 since the provided word for the network match is pleasure and the actual network is pleasurenet.

RusselB apologizes for not providing a clear example with his first post

that $wildtok won't cause the token "pleasure" to match the wildcard text *Pleasurenet* in that example the way $wildtok compares.. you could try doing something like



so you can go for more exact matches if they exist but otherwise take only the first token seperated by . so you remove the tld and replace "-" with * so it will match more common partials i.e..

network whatever.net will be changed to "*whatever*"

networks like Chat-Net.org will be changed to "chat*net" in case someone uses network name "chatnet"

I think that should match anything people actually expect to match


Edit: err.. I just realized mine wont match "pleasure" to a "pleasurenet" network name either.. also realized a || is fine instead of elseif because if the first one matches it'll go with that result everytime

Thanks...that works great in my tests.

I'm not sure I got what you want correctly, but have you tried $matchtok?

I did try it, however, it doesn't work properly with wildcards.
