Not sure how to classify this. There is currently no way to assign a %match result to a LOCAL variable directly. Consider...

#VAR Temp 0 _nodef Money
#LOCAL $Temp

#NOOP %match( %-1, "(%d) Royal Sunburst*", Temp)
#NOOP %match( $MoneyStr, "(%d) Royal Sunburst*", $Temp)

@Temp will have a value and $Temp won't.

Given the advantages of using local variables it would be nice to be able to do so. Granted it may have to be some I'll live with out, or at least until after public release.

This probably applies to all similar functions as well.

P.S. I hope I'm not confusing this with the %mss mentioned elsewhere, but I don't think so.

Actually, both %match and %regex were modified a couple versions ago to support local variables. The problem is with the #NOOP call. The way #NOOP works is that the arguments are expanded, but they are not really compiled.

You need to either assign the %match to a variable to force it to get compiled properly, or in v1.11 you should use the #CALL command instead of #NOOP.

You should never be using #NOOP in CMUD to perform any actions. If you want to execute a function and throw away the result, you must use #CALL instead (which is broken in 1.10).

Here is the alias that works in v1.11:

That's great Zugg I'll give it a short now.
