Question on Parsing a String in a CML Macro - kblagron - 06-18-2019 I am playing with the Native Echo Smarthome Skill, and had a question on the best way to do this. I have the following text string:  "{'channel': {'number': '100'}, 'channelMetadata': {}}" I want to save the number shown (100) into a variable and discard the rest.  What would be the best recommended way to do so in a CML Macro?  I know I can do some splits, strips, and indexes and get to it in 4  or 5 commands, but was curious is there an easier way to capture that?  The Starting point will always be the same, but the number could be 1, 2, or 3 digits long. RE: Question on Parsing a String in a CML Macro - kblagron - 06-18-2019 My first stab at this was as follows:                         DataParm.Cut(0,24);                         DataParm.Split(TmpStr,''',False); I guess that should suffice, but open for other ideas.
