Zugg Software :: View topic - Remove the , from 12,345 when read by a trigger.

I'm trying to read some numbers from my prompt with a trigger but the numbers have commas in them. So first off I have to use * to get it to begin with. Then I try to say #var gold %remove(",", %2), if it read 12,345 for %2 then gold would be 12. I tried a couple things like %literal, %quote and they don't seem to work. I think what is happening is it is expanding %2 so its doing %remove(",",12,345) instead of %remove(",", "12,345").

How would I be able to read that from my prompt and store it in a variable without the comma?

What I have now:

This one is fairly straightforward. Simply quote the %1 when you use the %replace function, ie

Use %n, that matches comma-delimited integers (ie, "12,345" but not "12,345.67"). If you aren't dealing with decimals, %n will strip the commas for you, resulting in a regular integer.
