What is the proper way to use wildcards in Abrosia? (I've located exactly one post on this and it didn't solve the problem.)

First, I checked that there were healing potions in the shop. I tried "*Healing Potion" and "* Healing Potion" (separate lists). These result in interminable visits to the shop in question. Nothing gets bought.

I tried "Healing Potion*" and "Healing Potion *" (again separate lists). This results in short visits and no buys.

Help?

I've got similar problems while adding an item that way, so I just include it on a full list.
Try including them on a txt file (for ABing with ABrosia).
And if you want to clear a shop, a list for clearing that shop could be helpful.

Actually, earlier today I tried "*techo morphing potion" in a longer .txt list. Interminable waits resulted. Interminable wait disappeared as soon as I removed the asterisked term.

Maybe you are including an unnecesary character.

This is an example of an ABer list:

Green Draik Egg
Yellow Draik Egg
Blue Draik Egg
Red Draik Egg
Zombie Draik Egg
Pirate Draik Egg
Darigan Draik Egg
Lost Desert Draik Egg
Ice Draik Egg
Island Draik Egg
Pootato
Meridellian Style Mashed Potatoes
Roast Pork
Fresh Fruit Goblet
Bread Wreath
Veggie Deluxe Stuffed Pepper
Basket of Berries
Ixi-like Potato Pile
Fruit Juice Sack
Illusen Day Jelly

You only the name of the items in a list format for creating an ABrosia list. No need of strange useless symbols (*, "...)

Protip:
DON'T REPLY IN TOPICS YOU KNOW FUCK ALL ABOUT. KAY?

Edit: For example, as far as I can see, the guy is using the wildcard symbol correctly, and it's causing an unforseen problem. So I don't post, because I have nothing to add, and just wait for someone on the programming team to bumble along and answer the question that I cannot.
I don't post, at least, until someone else posts something fucking stupid that shouldn't go unaddressed.

That is what my lists normally look like.

Take a quick look at your Program Settings (Main Shop Settings tab). In the Manual List Options, below the window where you load your list, are the words "(NOTE: Wildcards supported. Use * in Item Name.)

So what's the deal? Are wildcards supported or not?

[Ziz]

Yeah Sweeney, I know a shit about wildcards.
However I know to use lists, and I was more helpful that you, at least I shared her what I knew.

Sorry, I had the same problem, but I tried to get aropund it including the item on the list.
That's everything I can do for you =(

I know that the Sun is approximately 93 million miles away from earth.

I'm sharing what I know, but it sure as shit isn't helpful.

That's everything I can do for you =(

So... nothing then.
Great job!

Did you know, that abrosia also has a scheduler? I don't know how it works, but I hope that helps!

[Dara]

Actually, Ziz was helpful. I don't know any more about wildcards (yet), but I know I can make my lists longer than I have been!

Using lists is helpful for her matter.
All she has to do is going to an neopets item database (like the one of codex), typing the name of the items she wants and restricting the search to the shop she wants to AB in, copy-paste those items into a txt file and that's it.
An alternate way of solving her problem.

I offered her an alternate solution.

Nu uh, I'm on the Web Applications team so I can legitimately claim ignorance on this matter.

To OP: You should PM Pyro or Iargue and they'll either help you or say some stuff to fob you off.

Well, go get your more impressive friends to do your dirty work.

Or get iargue, and we can derive some more amusement by watching him struggle to answer?

Comfort? Or a shame deeper than the seventh circle of hell?
Which, coincidentally, is where he's headed for the creation of that monstrosity.

How can that possibly make up for the suggestion that Iargue is more impressive than you.

Hey now, be fair. I purposely used an "or" clause after the first sentence to exclude iArgue from that category.
I'm offended that you think I'd stoop so low.

[Waser Lave]

I'm offended that you think I'd stoop so low.

Now we're both offended, look what you've done now.

If hell turns out to exist I think creating the pet simulator will be the least of my worries.
