The CHSTRING +x switch was causing problems and so I asked Leonid to change it so that you only need it when the magic character * is a literal asterisk. When you want it to be a wild card, you now do NOT need the +x switch. If you are using a current version of CLAN, that would explain why this is confusing you. In any case, just try running with an without the +x. One of the two forms should work, depending on whether you have an older version or a newer one.<BR>
Also, you really need the asterisk in the +s switch, so things like<BR>
"@s " "@sv " <BR>
will not work, since they would only match strings like @s which don’t exist by themselves. You must have<BR>
"*@s " "*@sv "<BR>
as Diane noted.<BR>
