How can you match a pattern like this and assign it to a varable. The best I am coming up with is &%dvar1,&%dvar2,&%dvar3 then I assign it like this: varable=@var1~,@var2~,@var3
I am certain there is a better way to capture the pattern and assign it to a varable. I am running into a problem when the number to match has this pattern 1,234,567,890. The leading 1 doesn't want to assign to varable, so I am looking to do it the correct way.

Thanks

Try using %x:

#TRIGGER {coming up with is (%x) then I assign} {#VAR varable %1}
#SH coming up with is 1,234,567,890 then I assign
#SH I captured: @Varable

Since you weren't very specific on the line you want to match then I must assume you want to generically match a number with commas in it. Try this.

#TR {([0..9,])} {varable="%1"}

You can match the pattern with %n.

If you need to strip the ,'s you can use %replace(@var,",","")
