AutoVoice AutoVoice Regex word boundry not working

I am trying to capture a yes or no response from a query and having trouble isolating words.

For a negative response, my filter is "/b(no|negative|nope|forget it)\b"
Using a test command of "I did not understand" the profile will fire with:
avcomms() = no
avcommsnofilter() = I did t understand

The \b should require a word boundry before and after "no"

I expected the profile not to fire. Any suggestion on isolating a single word or phrase from the recongized string?

 

I am not sure you understood what I was trying to do. I want to be able to accept a wide variety of words/phrases that indicate a specific response catagorized as no, yes, reply, retry, save and send.

For example, if I have Tasker say "Would you like to reply to this message?", I would like the following phrases to be interpreted as no:
no
negative
nope
forget it

But if I respond by saying "Acknowledged" or "Reply now", I don't want the "no" in "Acknowledged" or "now" to be interpreted as no.

All I want to do is isolate the words or phrases from whatever surrounds it. Regex should be able to do this with the word boundry switch \b.

The video appears to show the opposite. Isolating a variable when you know what surrounds it.

 

Unfortunately that forces it to be that word or phrase and only that word or phrase. I wanted to ignore all the extra words.

Fortunately autovoice does recognize the white space expression, \s and I combined it with your suggestion.

(\s|^)(no|negative|nope|forget it)(\s|$)

Thanks for the tip.

 

Your right. That was it. Must have been staring at it too long . My apologies.
