(Regular Expression) Letter Count

[DerVVulfman]

The returned value of @text... is that the segment that will print, or the leftover text of the previously saved text (thinking the latter).
I'm at work so Pseudo-Code here:

Code:

old_length=@text.size
@text.gsub(/([?.!][^\n\z"])/) { "#{$1}\005[#{$game_system.message.end_delay}]" }
new_length=@text.size
printed_length = old_length - new_length

Note that I used gsub and not gsub! so I don't actually 'CUT' the string. That would be for later when you do the printing of the message.
