Pesterchum Quirks thread: Request and post your quirks here!

[octobutler]

ahh thank you but uhm, it's not working properly
it's just adding random stutters in the middle of sentences

[Callie]

Hello! I want to request a quirk that looks like this:

Hello there!
will turn into
!Hello there!

I also want it to work on more than one ending punctuation mark, like ellipses.

Hello! I want to request a quirk that looks like this:

!Hello there!

Is that to effect the line as a whole or each sentence?
For the message as a whole, use:

Regex:
^(.*?)([.?!]*)$
\2\1\2

[Callie]

Oops, I wasn't too clear. I want it to affect each sentence.

[humbleElitist]

ok, that would be:

Regex:
\b([^.?!]*)([.?!]*)
\2\1\2

should work, not tested.

You've either input something wrong, or have a quirk adding punctuation to locations other than the end of sentences, which would affect it.

Please double check, and if you are adding additional punctuation, put that quirk after this one.

ok, that would be:

Regex:
\b([^.?!]*)([.?!]*)
\2\1\2

Tested. Confirmed.

[Malus]

regexp: \b([\w\s]*)(\w[.?!])
replace: ~~\1upper(\2)~~


For quick reference, this turns

this is a test. you silly goose.

into

~~this is a tesT.~~ ~~you silly goosE.~~
(same with ? and !)

The uppercase letter and the tilde quirks are separate, not just one. It's for two different chumhandles.

Also, the tildes at the end of the sentence is supposed to be before the period, not after. Forgive me, I'm picky...

[XP105]

regexp: \b([\w\s]*)(\w)[.?!]
replace: \1upper(\2)

regexp: \b([\w\s]*)([.?!]?)
replace: ~~\1~~\2

[Malus]

Thank you! But, now the uppercase letter's periods, questions marks, etc. aren't showing up...

Other than that, everything is great!

Edit: Well, okay. The tildes with my apostrophes and commas

~~It~~'~~s like this~~, ~~very annoying~~.

Is that normal?

That should work.

Question, is there a way to RANDOMLY add a prefix to a sentence? Like, not all the time, but occasionally.

(If you must know, the prefix is asdf)

Question, is there a way to RANDOMLY add a prefix to a sentence? Like, not all the time, but occasionally.

(If you must know, the prefix is asdf)

regexp: \b
random replace: (empty) *do this multiple times
asdf(space)

[humbleElitist]

regexp: \b
random replace: (empty) *do this multiple times
asdf(space)

I think that would match inside of sentences as well.
So like the asdf fox jumped. The fox asdf jumped, etc.

I think he's right, I think.
Make it

Regexp: (.+)
Random replace: \1
\1
\1
\1
asdf \1

(or however often you want asdf to appear)

[Gakuno]

humbleElitist was right, it appears IN sentences

[XP105]

But mine fixes that, correct?

[Gakuno]

EEeeeeeyup.

[cardiacAtrophy]

BLUH.

Seriously, one fucking week without pesterchum, and I'm already getting \b and ^ mixed up again.

[Wayside]

If I may make a request...

There's one part of one of my troll's quirks I'm a bit stuck on. I'd like for every third 'e/E' to be a '3' instead.

Do you see what I m3an? I'd really appreciat3 if you could figure this out.

Thank you!

[trulyElse]

Regexp: ([eE].*[eE].*)[eE]

Replace: \13

I'm not 100% how the program will handle that, though.
Will it separate \1 from 3?

[Wayside]

Ahh, no... Will not allow me to enter the text... I tried something like ([eE]{3}) replace with '3' but all that does is turn 'eee' into '3' but 'e e e' remains the same. 'eeeee' turns to '3ee'

In short, still nothing. It doesn't separate the \1 from 3. Thanks for the quick response though, I wasn't expecting it

[trulyElse]

Regexp: ([eE].*[eE].*)[eE]

Replace: \1ѽ3

Replace: ѽ3
With: 3

That aught to fix it.

[Wayside]

Thank you so much! Oh, and... is that a pumpkin? =squints=

EDIT* Ack. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I switched profiles but forgot to close out of the quirks window, and apparently all the quirks transferred to the other profile. Whut. Anyway, when I use more than one 'e/E' the last character will always be a '3', but not every third one...

[imperfectOrigins]

Do you have any idea if i could get a quirk with a period after every letter and quotation?

L.i.k.e. .t.h.i.s.?.
