[9fans] plumber rule for WikiWords

[Matthias Teege]

Moin,

I use the following plumbing rule to "emulate" wiki like functions in 
acme:

type is text
data matches '([A-Z]+[a-z]+[A-Z]+[a-z]+)*$'
data set wiki/$0.txt
plumb to edit

Most of the time it works but if I use a LongWikiWord it opens
WikiWord.txt instead of LongWikiWord.txt. It depends on where I click
on the word. If I click on Long nothing happens and if I click on Wiki
it opens WikiWord.

Is this a problem of the rule or a "feature"? I use acme  from Plan 9 
ports.

Many thanks
Matthias

i don't think your rule matches LongWikiWord because the rule
will only match words with an even number of studly caps.

assuming that you want >= 2 studly caps, i think the rule
you'd rather is

data matches '[A-Z]+[a-z]+([A-Z]+[a-z]+)+'

Not sure is it is suported in Acme, but...

([A-Z]+[a-z]+){2,}

acme isn't evaluating the match, plumber is.  plan 9
regular expressions (ether way) do not support {} ranges.
