The following regex patterns are freqently enough used to have been on the previous wiki page:

Identification string in front of the main name:

Code: Select all

/ALT-([\w]+)/i

For example ALT-Pleegwat

Identification string after the main name:

Code: Select all

/([\w]+)s Alt/i

For example, Pleegwats Alt

First word in the note

Code: Select all

/([\w]+)/i

For example, (Pleegwat)

Multiple identifiers, for example seperate identifiers for alts and twinks, but have both as alts:

Code: Select all

/(Alt-|Twink-)([\w]+)/i

For example, both Alt-Pleegwat and Twink-Pleegwat would be denoted my alts in this setup.
Note on this one: since the nick is in the second bracketed expression you'll need to set the use match setting to 2.


On all of these example patterns remove the i at the end for case sensitive matching of the identifying string.


The field to apply on is usually the public note or officer's note.

is "Alt" case insensitive in that regex? some people have it as xxxxxx's ALT

or xxxxxx's alt

what about apostrophe? some people have xxxxxx's some people have xxxxxx some people have xxxxxxs

With the i at the end (after the second /) it is case-insensitive, so it'll match ALT or alt too.

I didn't add the apostrophe to keep stuff simple, if you want to match with or without one use this:

Code: Select all

/([\w]+)'?s Alt/i

The ? means the preceding character (the apostrophe) may occur zero or one times.

I'm using /^Alt:\s*(\w+)/i

this means that the first part of the note should be Alt:<space type characters (maybe :-))><character's name>

That way they can do whatever they want after it :-)

We just have the main's name in the public note and "Main" in the Main's public note.

I also tweaked the primary menu to look for the Main instead of the Alt so that I don't have to recode my entire roster in game.
