If it's set to perl regex, I dunno. Looks valid to me. Can always go into debug and see if the trigger is actually firing and your script isn't working.

Is debug mode any different from having the trigger echo("works!") ?

Just to clarify, when using the articles: a and an. They are always used to describe the noun correct? So it would be:

an apple
an pretty apple

a trunk
a elongated trunk

It sounds weird, but isnt that correct?

An apple.
A pretty apple.

A truck.
An elongated truck.

Is it not...

an apple
a pretty apple
a trunk
an elongated trunk
?

In the scripts window (I don't know what it's called. Where you see the triggers/aliases/macros buttons on the left.) There's a bug looking symbol at the bottom. Clicking it will open the debug menu. Make the text you're trying to trigger appear IG (Doing an IH or something) and see if it catches the trigger in the debug menu.

Correct usage as people have said above. You use 'an' when the following word starts with a vowel.

No. The 'n' is added based on whether the first letter in the next word is a vowel or not.
(It developed, in part, because it's easier to say. 'A angry cat' is harder to say than 'an angry cat')

EDIT: Ninja'd by Ayisdra.

Well the trigger is not catching methinks... debug mode is cool though!

EDIT: Works just fine in Mush, though I forgot to account for spaces, don't know of any mobs with spaces in their names on ih though...

See IRE is causing me to doubt myself, because I have designed different items in different games and each time I am given a different rule. Bad IRE. Bad!

One moment I am told its the noun, then I am told its the word following the article. I am too old to remember this stuff from kindergarten

It's not actually if the following word starts with a vowel that you go with "an" instead of "a", it's if it starts with a vowel sound, in speech, at least.

There's also a couple special cases like "an hotel" which you say even though you should pronounce hotel with a h-sound rather than skipping it like a lot of people do (including me). Same for hospital.

Better example would be "an herb," I think. I'd debate the hotel one with you.

I would too.

Oxford sides with everyone.

More English debates?

My rule is if you pronounce the h (hotel, hospital in my dialect) use a; if you don't pronounce the h (e.g. honest) then use an.

Google matches for an hotel: 874,000

The english language, a scary thing indeed.

Not using Mudlet, but I had a similar problem with my client. The problem was the color change in the middle; thus, the regex didn't catch it because the color change isn't accounted for in the regex. Try changing it to ^\\"(\\w+).m(\\d+).m\\" (this is only a wild shot in the dark, but if Mudlet parses regex on raw output and not what's displayed, it might work).

That's covered in Eventru's link...which is the correct usage policy for both real and mongrel-British English.

I use the simple approach. The trick is to store the lists in the order you put the items on, then reverse it to take them off. Strip everything, then put everything on. Easy-peasy.


Ialie's rainbow ring is about the same. She acknowledges that my approach makes more sense, but still prefers hers.

Not that I am making fun. I have no grounds, what with me wishing I could buy a manse-artifact-oven for my manse's kitchen just because a kitchen should have an oven, even though I have no active cooks in the family. (I'd do it, too, if the price weren't so completely loopily out of line for the value even when you do have a cook.)
