Jockey name trigger "funny" - potential bug?
« on: 09 Apr 2017, 15:11 »
Hi,

I've just been building up a trigger and it relies on seeing if any of the jockeys in the current race are listed in an external file.

A trigger using Selection's Jockey's Name is in file c:\Jockey list.txt flatly refuses to work.

A trigger using Selection's Trigger Expression silk_jockey is in file c:\Jockey list.txt works perfectly.

Why?

Hello!

Is each name in double quotes inside the file?
Always try your triggers in Test Mode before switching to real money!

Hi Oxa,

Nope, just one name per line, no quotes.
Extract below:

Tom Eaves
Liam Heard
Trevor Whelan
Jamie Moore
Noel Fehily

You need to enclose all strings in double quotes, throughout the program (triggers, search strings, files etc.).
