Zugg Software :: View topic - Removing part of a variable when using it?

Ok, for this example, I have a variable called @test, now inside of @test is 5.hotdog. I want to call the contents of the variable but chop off the 5. OR another way it would work is if I have a variable, let's say "chomp" that will store the following word into @test, and when I use chomp 5.hotdog, instead of storing 5.hotdog, have it store just hotdog instead, there won't ALWAYS be a 5., but when there is, I want it gone when I store hotdog

Is there a way I can do this?

#AL chomp {#VAR test %right( "%1", %pos( ".", "%1"))}
