Function Syntax

int extract_meat(string text )

  • text is the string to search

This function searches your supplied text, searching for either the phrase "You gain X Meat" or "You lose X Meat" and returns X. For "gain" X will be positive, and for "lose" negative. The number X can be formatted with or without commas. Note that the phrases to search are both case-sensitive (it will not match on "You gain 10 meat"). This function can be used for parsing meat gains and losses from combat and kmails (though additional parsing is necessary for kmail to avoid considering the text of the kmail itself, which could contain the meat gain/loss string).
