So after many years, I'm finally learning myself regular expressions
My first attempt should be a simple enough task, getting an event to trigger on your nickname, while not being part of another word (STING=true, teSTING=false)
So far I succeed with a '==' and 3 $regex'es, but I think this could probably be done by one $regex, right?
alias _regex {
;should be False
var %text.1 = testing
;should be True
var %text.2 = test STING test
;should be True
var %text.3 = STING test
;should be True
var %text.4 = test STING
;should be True
var %text.5 = STING
var %tmp = 0
clear
while (%tmp < 5) {
inc %tmp
var -s %txt = %text. [ $+ [ %tmp ] ]
if (%txt == STING) || $regex(%txt,/ STING /) || $regex(%txt,STING$) || $regex(%txt,^STING) { echo -a % $+ text. $+ %tmp is 3True }
else { echo -a % $+ text. $+ %tmp is 4False }
}
}
