%match with <@variable>?
|
#var aff1matches %match(&affects,<@DBsearchaff1>(*)By (%n),trash,DBfoundaffval1)
I get a syntax error at the < in <@DBsearchaff1>. Why is this? |

Because <> are MapDir characters by default. You have to use ~< to make them a part of the pattern.
Once you fix that. The pattern it will match should/would look like "<variablevalue>123 abcdefgBy 50"
And it will store "123 abcdefg" in the variable @trash and "50" in @DBfoundaffval1. |

The entire pattern should be enclosed in quotes, and you may still have to use the ~ before < and >.
#var aff1matches %match(&affects,"<@DBsearchaff1>(*)By (%n)",trash,DBfoundaffval1) |
