[JASS] Working on StringPattern - System any suggestions for features?

[Cr34p]

So I'm working on a StringPattern-System and I need some suggestions what you would like to see in this system. Actually i have following features:

//For Players i have:
%p00-%p11
//For any playername
%p
//For Any character
(.)
//For only digits
%d
//For only words (including digits but no punctuation)
%w
//For only punctuation
%s


Then opperators:
+
&&
||
* <= address operator 

For charactarblock seperation
(
)

//If you create a StringPattern it'll look like this
StringPattern pattern = StringPattern.create("send %p (%d*5)")

//You could check if a playermessage matches this:
playerMsg = "send xD.Schurke 10000"
if pattern.matches(playerMsg) then
...
endif
//this would match the pattern 'cause xD.Schurke is one of the players and the "number" is 5-digit

then there is the question if there is rly the need for such a system

I don't think it would be useful. Also someone made a similar system;

it's not that similar I would say.
My idea was to create a system which could be used by the user to create certain patterns, which could be used in chat systems or for commandos etc.

The idea is not to give the player "messages" but check their messages if they fit a "pattern"

The problem with any string system is strings in WC3 leak. As more of them are made, the whole engine slows down when doijng anything string related.

At like 100000 strings, you lose like 1-2+ frames per string opperation.

in general there are 2 methods dealing with the "string"
