Pass a variable to a snippet name

Asked by RobrechtDR

Is it possible to pass variables to a snippet name? I looked at the docs but didn't encounter this feature.

E.g.:

------------------- SNIP -------------------
snippet greet|receiver, sender| "greet person" b
Hello |receiver|, how are you doing?

Best regards, |sender|
endsnippet
------------------- SNAP -------------------
my_snip|Pete, Frank|<tab> ->
Hello Pete, how are you doing?

Best regards, Frank

Sure, regular expression triggers to the rescue:

snippet "greet (\w+) (\w+)" "Greet snippet" r
Hello `!p snip.rv = match.group(1)`, how are you doing?

Best regards, `!p snip.rv = match.group(2)`
endsnippet

greet Pete Frank<tab>
