I am trying to match:
The six sided die rolls out onto the ground and the result is... 1
The six sided die rolls out onto the ground and the result is... 5

Why won't this work?
^The six sided die rolls out onto the ground and the result is\.\.\. (\d)\nThe six sided die rolls out onto the ground and the result is\.\.\. (\d)\z

The RegExp parser hates you...

Err, Really... Dont you need the second \n? (before \z)

Edit: Yep, that seems to work for me.

Bah, thanks. I never would have guessed, I thought \z would be enough.

By the way, helpfile:
Quote:

A simple example would be to match on:

You are hungry.
You are thirsty.

To match this you might have the regular expression:

Match: ^You are hungry\.\nYou are thirsty\.\z

Doesn't this need to be changed too?

OK, changed it for the next release.

I remember now why the example is wrong. Initially multi-line triggers put a newline *between* lines but not after the final line. That was when I wrote the example. However that made it hard to match on (line A|line B) both of which might end in a newline. So now there is a final newline, which you have to put in the regexp.

I have reworked the other examples on that help screen as well to make them work.

BTW are your fonts working now?

Yes, perfectly. They do require that I open the fonts dialog and click ok for every world then save, but that's not too much of a hassle. I suppose I could use sed to do it on them all at once.
