 #TEMP using variable patterns
 
 |  
				| Okay, sample scenario... #VAR Variable Value
 #ALIAS Whatever {#TEMP {@Variable} {#SAY Triggered}}
 
 I would expect this to make a temporary variable with the pattern "Value", but it is instead created as "@Variable".  This is all fine and dandy, but if @Variable changes, the temporary trigger changes.  The variable is actually a message I am trying to catch, and if the ariable changes before the message is displayed, the trigger never goes off.  How can I get #TEMP to parse the pattern first?

				| Using the settings editor, put this value in the alias. #TEMP {<@Variable>} {#SAY Triggered}

				| That's odd, I thought I had tried that approach.  Oh well, works now, and not quite so crude as Vijilante's approach (though that works as well).  Thanks to both of you!
