ok I've got an xp trigger working, but when I report it %format ("&10.0n",@exp) if the third digit is a 0 it dont show up, for example, is exp=11,011, it reports 11,11, the variable show's it right (11,011) and if exp=11,111 it reports 11,111 just fine. anyone got any suggestion's on this, not major, just annoying :)

not sure exactly how the %format works as I guessed and played around with it till it worked.

%format( "&1.0n", @exp2)

If you want to use %format, take the commas out of your variable.
#VAR exp {11011}
#SHOW %format("&10.0n",@exp)
If you want to use commas in your variable, don't use %format.
#VAR exp {11,011}
#SHOW @exp
You only need to put commas in once, trying to do it both ways causes problems.

If you want to use commas in the variable, but also want to use %format to right-justify the display
#VAR exp {11,011}
#SHOW %format( "&10s", {@exp})

I dont have comma's in the variable, it stripes them when it reads it from the mud so var exp=11011 but the %format ("&10.0n", @exp) reads 11,11 it drop's the zero's on me, I've tried %format ("@10.0n", {@exp}) and with @exp in both () and []. () it wont read it at all and the other two I get the same effect.
