Search pattern

[Patrick 310]

Hi!

I'm pretty ignorant of the search pattern, I want some help with this.

Example string: "something #ffffff anothersomething color:#ffffff"

I'd like to choose the color codes that don't have the color: word before. (In this example, the first color code)

 

example

#ff0000 -> result: true

color:#ff0000 -> result: false

maybe a stupid idea, but string.find ?

I don't understand ! Do you want to check is the color inside the string ? or what ?

local _output = outputChatBox

function outputChatBox(text, ...)
  if string.find(text, 'color:#') then
    string.gsub(text, 'color:', '')
  end
  return _output(text, unpack(arg))
end

Is this what you mean?

(?<!color:)(#\S{6})(?=\s)

Ahh, yes!

But have a problem, because this regex, and MTA can't use it. (or am I wrong?)

I didn't say anything.

Thanks the help, again.
