#alias combine variable with text no longer working. Help?
 
Previously in Zmud I had some aliases that were

#alias 1.string {say "Hello."}
#alias 2.string {say "Hi."}
#alias 3.string {say "Greetings."}

and I could call it with

#alias sayhello {#var stringnum;@stringnum".string"}

and could execute with sayhello.

Not it just prints out 1.string.

Is there any way to fix this?

Tia.

You could fix it by encapsulating the @stringnum".string" with an #EXECUTE, but I would recommend a cleaner solution.
Code:
#ALIAS sayhello {#SEND {say %case(%random(1,3),"Hello.","Hi.","Greetings.")}}
This will allow you to get rid of the other aliases. If you don't want to use the %random then there are many other methods that could be used.
