Re: Macro - (.*) - What is this?
You need to post examples. You mean something like this on a macro?
If that's what you meant, then it is a Perl regular expression.
Each of those symbols have their meanings:
. -> Matches any character (except the new line character)
* -> Means that the previous `symbol` appears 0 or more times
( and ) -> It specifies as a capture group whatever is enclosed in between
So (.*) will match and then capture anything that appears on the console in the previous code snippet.
Code: Select all
automacro example {
console /(.*)/
call {
# Whatever
}
}
