%replace / %remove replace and removing too much
|
In the following trigger:
| Code: |
| #ac {%d%s{@TallyTarget}%s%w%s%d%s(*)%s%d%s} |
I am attempting to capture a formatted number that can range from between 1 and 2.147bil. The trigger works properly, and (in the test I ran it on) captured the number "365,365,365". Now I wanted to divide that number by 200,000, so I attempted to strip the commas out. I tried it two ways, and got the same result both times:
| Code: |
%remove( ",", %1)
%replace(%1,",","") |
In both cases, the result returned with "365" only. I tried using the remove/replace commands in staight eval math, in an addkey command, and in a #va command, the result was the same every tme. I also tried variations of %-1, {%1}, {%-1}, etc. My question is:
Do I need to change my trigger into 4 seperate triggers, looking for "%d" "%d,%d" etc? Or more specifically, do I need to change my trigger to accomodate my purposes? Or am I just doing something wrong with the syntax of %remove/%replace, or missing another function altogether? Thanks in advance :) |

you need to use quotes around %1. It looks counter-intuitive, but %1...%99 are substituted early on in the process.
Also of note, %n matches comma-delimited numbers, and does in fact remove them from the number. |
