Zugg Software :: View topic - Get Integer data from string with comma separators

Alright, i think i saw the answer to this, elsehwere in these forums, but i cant for the life of me find it again.

Anyways, I'm trying to capture data from my prompt, and the mud i play in uses commas to separate large numbers, at thousands, millions, etc.

A typical prompt is this, given my server-side settings:

<Stats: hp 949 mhp 949 gd 4,528,804 al 998 tim night ma 414 mam 414 mv 530 mvm 530 xp 77,634,071 xpn 5,714,929 sty S we 404 wem 999
CharName:

Yeah, i know it's long, but it provides me all the info i could need. The first line, before charname, is displayed as black on black, and gagged, as well.

Anyways, the parts i'm worried about, are "gd 4,528,804" (current gold amount), "xp 77,634,071" (experience total) and "xpn 5,714,929" (ecperience required until next level).

I have the following trigger set to capture this prompt data.

#TRIGGER {<Stats: hp &hpvar mhp &hpmax gd &goldvar al &alignvar tim &timevar ma &manavar mam &manamax mv &movvar mvm &movmax xp &expvar xpn &expneed sty &styvar we &weivar wem &weimax} {#gag}

The following variables result (in this case) for @goldvar, @expvar, and @expneed.

#VAR GOLDVAR {4,528,804}
#VAR EXPVAR {77,634,071}
#VAR EXPNEED {5,714,929}

Now, the question is:

How can i rewrite this trigger, or add additional triggers, to store these variables as integers, without commas, rather than as strings, with commas?

Thanx in advance,

%replace function:

#VAR GOLDVAR {%replace( "4,528,804", ",", "")}

Use the %n wildcard and the #VARIABLE command.
#TRIGGER {<Stats: hp &hpvar mhp &hpmax gd (%n) al &alignvar tim &timevar ma &manavar mam &manamax mv &movvar mvm &movmax xp (%n) xpn (%n) sty &styvar we &weivar wem &weimax} {#gag;#VAR GOLDVAR %3;#VAR EXPVAR %10;#VAR EXPNEED %11}
