Two *‘s in one pattern?
  
 
Posted: Aug 24, 2012

Okay so i was just wondering if say for a callmom url command if i could use two stars in one category? like

<category>
<pattern>I WANT * IN *</pattern>
<template><oob><url>http://www.yelp.ca/search?find_desc=<star/>#find_loc=<star/></url></oob></template></category> 

Would this work or would I need to add or remove something or if something like this is possible?

Yes, that should work.  Try it and let us know if you have any problems.

The term you want is <star> not <star>.

You may want the second expression to be find_desc=<star index=“2”>

Im not sure if its working or not because it seems that yelp is redirecting me to my location… if this is the case then i shouldnt worry but i do have some test running with some friends.

Thanks smile

I just noticed that you’re using a hash character (#) to separate find_desc and find_loc. Most likely, you should be using an ampersand, (&) instead. The hash character is used to tell the web browser to ‘move’ the view-port to a specific portion of the page, while the ampersand tells the server that what follows is a variable. Hope this helps. smile

Yea i realized that… it was how it was on the webpage, it works fairly well for me so far… i even found a way to sort it by reviews, im exited… my app and my bot (though on doesnt really work without the other does it?) are shaping up fairly nice from when i began… Im just happy that theres so many people out there to help smile
