Hi, all.
I have an existing local variable by name "xyz".
I have a list containing the message "This is" && xyz && "in context."
When I call it, the complete phrase arrives as a string.
I need a way to 'interpret' the 'xyz' portion of the message as the local variable.
If I understand your question, you need to get the middle part back out?
xyz = "some stuff" arrivalString = "This is some stuff in context."
numWords = arrivalString.word.count extractedContents = arrivalString.word[3..numWords-2]
put extractedContents -- "some stuff"
& if you're trying to get a number back, then use the value of extractedContents

Any suggestions? Thanks, in advance.
