this is suppose to be a simple trigger to subtract the exp i receive from a variable that is set to the experience tnl

pttern: You receive your share of experience -- (*) points.
value: #ad exptnl -%1
pattern: You need (*) experience
value: #var exptnl %1
exptnl=%subchar( @exptnl , ",", "")

second trigger sets the value needed to level and takes out the commas
first trigger is whenever i receive experience it subtracts that number from the experience needed variable

i then have the exptnl variable set in my status bar, however when i kill something, the value @exptnl - experience receive does not = the correct value after the subtraction

example

You need 1,799,857 experience points to level.

You receive your share of experience -- 73959 points.

so after i receive the exp i check the exptnl variable, its equal to 1761461, which is not equal to 1,799,857-73959
so why is it subtracting the value incorrectly? it only seems to happen when the numbers are over 5 digits

Disable your commands and enter these in the command line and hit enter

#TR {You receive your share of experience -- (%n) points.} {#ADD exptnl -%1}
#NOOP %n matches positive and negitive numbers along with stripping commas
#TR {You need (%n) experience} {#var exptnl %1}

actually it still doesnt subtract correctly, value is still off, and randomly it puts a different number in the status bar than the exptnl variable

any idea

If you check to see what you need to level then why are you keeping track yourself?

Seems like the game has already don it for you.

if you wish to have it on your stw line or something just to this
