I have been looking for a way to remove commas but have come up with no ideas. I have considered the substiture commands but to no avail, it isn't working.

Any string functions available in Zmud to parse through a variable?

Thanks...

Nevermind, I found the %replace function.

#SAY %replace("This, is, a,,, test", ",", %null)
yields

This is a test

The main thing to watch out for here is that you delineate the string arguments with quotation marks.

If you are wanting to remove the commas in something matched as %1 in a trigger, something like %replace(%1, ",", %null) will not work properly since it will parse the string above as %replace(This, is, a, , , test, ",", %null), passing 8 arguments to %replace instead of the 3 it expects.

Instead, you can use %replace("%1", ",", %null) to tell zMUD to pass %1 as the first argument only.

Edit: starting posting this before you replied to yourself but you were too fast for me.
