I need help on my mud the numbers have commas in them like below.

Your pl increases by 1,008 points.

I need to get rid of the comma or make it so zMUD does numbers right with commas.

Any ideas or any help?

#TR {Your pl increases by ([%d%p]) points. } {#show %replace(%1,",")}

You'd probably want to #substitute rather than #show. I don't think #show will then fire any triggers, and I'd guess you want to change the way it's appearing because you want to fire a trigger.

You need to put %1 in quotes too, otherwise the comma seems to confuse the pattern match
#TRIGGER {Your pl increases by ([%d%p]) points.} {#SUBSTITUTE {Your pl increases by %replace( "%1", ",") points.}}

just let it fire of this, unless you just wanna see it look pretty, all calculations could be done off the one trigger

#TRIGGER {Your pl increases by ([%d%p]) points.} {#VAR temp {%replace( "%1", ",")}}

then further manipulate the data now stored in @temp however you need too

You can simly use %n to pick up numbers with common punctuations items like commas. Commas are stripped when captured eliminating the need for extra prcoessing.
