What would be the best way to remove the commas from and output such as 4,056,287?

What im trying to do is make an easy way to deposit all my money in the bank. I'd like to do it by right clicking the amount in my prompt, and using deposit %selword.

Here's the prompt:

<1618/1618 1631/1631 890 (-1000)()(S)(4,056,287)(night)(2500)>

For which i made the following prompt trigger:

Pattern: ~<%d/%d %d/%d %d ~(%d~)~(*~)~(*~)~((*)~)~(%w~)~(%d~)~>

Then i tried using %subchar %1, ",","" in Value. but it sends 4056287 to the mud. And i'm not clear enough on #SUB to understand how to apply it here either. Thanks very much for any help

In your pattern use %n instead of %d. It'll capture numbers with commas or signs.

Otherwise, use the %replace function:

#VAR gold %replace(%selword, ",","")

replaces all commas in the selected text with nulls.

The %remove function would only remove the first instance, not all instances.

Thank you, Troubador. Something interesting that i found out, is that when i used the %n wild card to assign the @gold variable, was that it removed the "," all by itself. So, all i had to do was put deposit @gold in my right click menu. I don't even have to right click the gold in the prompt.
