Hey, thanks cyrille, claudius - list2symbol works wonders. I was hoping to solve it using buit in objects, but I'm growing dependant on zexy more and more anyways.
I wanted to share with you( since i've been tinkering along on this) that when you do a
[$1-Number (
it it works nice too. but reading 89-Number is a bit more akward then Number-89. ( would still be nice if you can 'messily' concantate stuff perl-wise tho - and use regexp in a message box too :))
thank you for your responses!
