[TF] Really stupid pattern matching problem.

[mazur at xs4all.nl (S. Linnemann)]

Hello,

in order to automate giving all guildmates a colour for immediate
recognition, I've set up several triggers to /def and /undef the colour
trigger. One of those acts weird:

Given a message like:

2003/03/06 04:24:09 - Name outguilded Othername.

and the trigger like:

/def -p0 -mglob -t'[0-9/]* [0-9:]* - [A-Za-z]* outguilded [A-Z][a-z]*.'
sentoust = /echo Sentoust: 1: %1, 2: %2, 3: %3, 4: %4, 5: %5, 6: %6.

in order to generate a final /undef %6, it seems impossible to make that
last pattern yield only Othername, no matter what I try, it yields
Othername.. (Yes, including the period, that falls outside the A-Z and
a-z ranges.)  Since a computer can't make mistakes, what am I stupidly
overlooking here?

Stefan.
