#var {test} {\{}
#Unmatched braces error!

I'm getting similar and more annoying issues with #regexp. Matching things like \{%d\}.

Any chance we could just throw away the lazy match stuff and replace it entirely with PCRE? The way it is now seems sort of a duct tape solution.

From #help escape:

\x7B will send the '{' character.
\x7D will send the '}' character.

If I throw out the pre-parser you get a whole new set of annoyances.

I'd tried the hex sequences earlier with no luck. It works for #var, but #regexp is still not taking it:

The following should work:

#act {%1 attacking you! \{%2\}.}

Might have to use: #line substitute escapes #var {test} {\x7B5\x7D}

[reality3k]

Yeah, that works in #action. #regexp seems to ignore it. Try that exact same pattern in #regexp and it refuses to match for me.

The reason for using #regexp is that the \{%d\} part from the mud output only occurs if there are multiples of a mob. I imagine making two triggers might work although it's inelegant, and besides I love #regexp.
