Help with selector words! (like in panther $String$)
I need help making it so rather than %s i can do %string% (using percentage symbols as $ signs would be used in panther.)
Anyone know how to do this?
Do I have to have $'s like in panther?
I know I once tried doing this... but I don't remember if I succeeded or not...

Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Hmm... I'd try asking sparks or nXIII or one of thier projects (so they are notified). I don't think anyone else has an idea. I can take a look at it though.
However, I find it for convenient the way Scratch did it, because it is a lot faster. But I understand why you (and others) would want to do it.
EDIT: I read your sig about 5 times over

Scratch-Blocks>>CommandBlockMorph>>private>>parseCommandSpec: may have something to do with it. I'm modding right now and I don't want to jack anything up. I'll experiment with it in a different source code.

I tried that in my mod and it messes up the blockspec.

Well, the goal was to change the selectors, so, for example, move (10) steps may show up as move %n steps as a block. Doing this, you would have to rewrite every block, so it is best to do it before you even start.
