I have an odd string that I have just about completely gotten to display the way I want. However there is one thing I need to replace with a blank space and it is making me go mad with frustration.

I need to replace a string of numbers that can change at the drop of a hat. Sometimes it will be 11002341 othertimes it could be 22019302 or something else completely different.

Is there a way to use a wildcard or predefined variable to replace it with a null space?

%d in the trigger pattern can pick up any number. But I'm not certain exactly what you are trying to do. Perhaps if you gave us a few lines from the mud along with exactly why you want to remove this.

For example, if you just want to remove any number, you can search for 0-9 and replace them with a space, then remove any multiple spaces.

A #sub or #psub may also word for what you need.

If you can trigger off the line and ID the number using %d, then use can use #PSUB to replace this entire number with a single space.

Or better yet, just replace the digits with an empty string.

You can also do some more complex stuff:
#IF (myVar =~ "(*)%d(*)") {#VAR myVar {%concat("%%1", "%%2")}}

I can't remember/test right now if the % has to be doubled, but you should be able to find that out quickly.
