Script in 3.20 not working (not a label issue)

Okay.. I have a trigger that watches for a string, pulls out two variables, and appends them to a notepad window.

It then turns on a "*" line that captures everything.

In that script, it stops with a "." at the end. It is a modified version of a script I found in this forum (sadly, I cannot give credit other than that) for Local Editing in a Moo with Mushclient. Suddenly after upgrading to 3.20 and copying back over my modified example.pl script (yes, using perl) I dont get trigger matching.

So, checking wildcards, I discovered that the data instead of being at:
$world->GetTriggerInfo ($thename, 100 + 1);

..the data is now at
$world->GetTriggerInfo ($thename, 100 + 10);

Whats up with that? Bug? Utter Weirdness? Not sure if this is a feature, change, what-have-you. Still doing tests to narrow this down more. Just curious whether this sounds familiar, if I'm overlooking something, etc.

I would have to look at:

a) The match text; and
b) What you are matching on

to comment in greater length.

However, wildcard 10 should be the entire matched text. Possibly you have omitted a bracket. The behaviour should be the same between version 3.20 and recent ones.

Trigger: xtest(.*),(.*)$


--output from trigger using ExampleTrigger in examplescript.pl---
You say, "xtest 1,1"
Trigger xTrigger fired.
Matching line was: You say, "xtest 1,1"
Wildcard 1 =
Wildcard 2 = 1"
Wildcard 3 =
Wildcard 4 =
Wildcard 5 =
Wildcard 6 =
Wildcard 7 =
Wildcard 8 =
Wildcard 9 =
Wildcard 10 = xtest 1,1"
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like its not passing the first arg?

Oops.

When adding new items for GetTriggerInfo I accidentally deleted selector 101, hence you can't access wildcard 1 any more (that way).

Will be fixed in 3.21.

Coolies. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy ^_^

You mentioned getting trigger info "in that way"..

Is there another way I should be doing it?

In VBscript and JScript the easier and preferred way of accessing the wildcard values is to simply use the third argument passed to the trigger.

eg.


sub OnTrigger (strTriggerName, trig_line, arrWildCards)
world.note arrWildCards (1)
end sub


However, try as I might, I couldn't get that to work in Perlscript, hence the introduction of GetTriggerInfo.

However I am not a Perlscript expert, if you can work it out I would be pleased to pass the knowledge on. The data is there (and will be there even in version 3.20), and works in the other scripting languages.

The data type is "variant - which is an array of variants". It seems to work for things like GetTriggerList, like this ...


foreach $item (Win32::OLE::in ($world->GetTriggerList))
{
$world->note($item);
}


However, that technique doesn't seem to work on the third argument to a trigger.
