Hi there !

I have a problem with regexp and the censor plugins

i try to kick player who choose a name too short or with only dot

For the dot name
i have try to use this

Code:

^[.]$|^[.]{2,9}$

But it seems to doesn't work

i have replace that by that and it do what i want

Code:

<badname name=".">
  <word>.</word>
</badname>
<badname name="...">
  <regexp>[.]{2,9}</regexp>
</badname>

For the second regex i try to kick player with name who have less than 4 characters
i have try it

Code:

^[0-9a-zA-Z]{1,3}$

i have try to replace it by

Code:

<badname name="aaa">
<regexp>[0-9a-zA-Z]{3}\s</regexp> or <regexp>[0-9a-zA-Z]{3}</regexp>
</badname>

or

Code:

<badname name="aaa">
<regexp>^[0-9a-zA-Z]{3}$</regexp>
</badname>

it doesn't work. the first kick everyone, and the second is ignored

It appears that we can't specify the begin or end of a string

I have no error in bot log

Have you got any idea ?

the B3 Doesn't respone one anything?
like !register?

the regular expression for "text composed of a single dot" is :

Code:

^\.$

or

Code:

^[.]$

the regular expression for "text composed of 2 to 9 symbols only" is :

Code:

^.{2,9}$

if you want to combine both rules into one, then the regular expression is :

Code:

^([.]|.{2,9})$

and not

^[.]$|^.{2,9})$

because the '^' symbol only has the meaning 'start of text' when used as the first character of a regexp, and the '$' symbol only has the meaning 'end of text' when used as the last character of a regexp.

I always work my regular expression using the Kodos software.


Your regular expresion

Code:

^[0-9a-zA-Z]{1,3}$

is correct, the censor plugin v2.2.1 does fail to work properly with it. That's the censor plugin's fault. Current implementation cleans player names and the cleaning process adds a space before and after the name making any regular expression using the '^$' delimiters failling.

I'm working on a new version of the Censor plugin that would not fail is such cases. It is a work in progress, but you can check what I have so far on my github repo in the BF3 branch :
 censor.py
 plugin_censor.xml
