One Verb Per Page
set: complete vs. partial string matching
Syntax
set complete match to desiredState
Parameters
desiredState -- true or false
Result
true
Examples
set complete match to true
set complete match to false -- the default
Notes
- By default, Player matches only the number of characters specified in the verb parameter. This feature has the benefit of ignoring trailing punctuation, but will occasionally find a false match.
- This setting affects all string matching done by any verb. It remains in effect until changed or until a reboot.
- Modifiers and special keys are constants not strings. Partial matches will not work.
- There is no way to alter the default (other than to execute this verb in a script placed in the Startup Items folder).
