ok i have this

#ALIAS g%copy( %selword, 1, 4) {
get %delete( %selword, 1, 4) from pack
wield %delete( %selword, 1, 4)
} dolls
#ALIAS p%copy( %selword, 1, 4) {
put %delete( %selword, 1, 4) in pack
} dolls

in a speed menu right click

I would click on something like
doll12345

it makes the alias with the right name of gdoll and pdoll
but inside the aliases it doesnt parse out the %delete and give me the numbers off the end... anyone have a idea how to fix this? Thanks

Force the expansion with this trick:
#EXEC {%concat("#ALIAS g," %copy(%selword, 1, 4), " {get ", %delete(%selword, 1, 4), " from pack;wield ", %delete(%selword, 1, 4), "} dolls")}

Since this will only work for items with 4-letter names, you probably only intend to use it with dolls? If that's the case, why not make the aliases permanent and use the menu to set variables?
#ALIAS gdoll {
get @dollnumber from pack
wield @dollnumber
} dolls
#MENU setdoll {#VAR dollnumber %delete( %selword, 1, 4)}

NOTE: Those are for command-line entry

#ALIAS g%copy( %word( %selline, 7), 1, 4) {
get [%delete( %selword, 1, 4)] from pack
wield [%delete( %selword, 1, 4)]
} dolls
#ALIAS p%copy( %word( %selline, 7), 1, 4) {
put [%delete( %selword, 1, 4)] in pack
} dolls

This is how I came up with a Solution, The line I am Clicking off of looks like this....

"doll109012" a living vodun doll of Linus

So it pulls the first 4 letters off the actual Name 'Linus' in this case so the aliases made are
gLinu and pLinu
This works perfectly, thanks
