dice grouping - Wild Talents/One Roll Engine

I tried googling for a solution to this. Here's how ORE's dice mechanic works. You grab a set of d10s, roll them, and look for matches. So, a roll of 2, 2, 3, 4, 4 would be two matches, specifically a 2x2 and a 2x4. What's the easiest way to do this in roll20? In my previous foray into the system I just did "/roll Xd10s." You'd get a total, which you could ignore, but at least they were all sorted, which made it easier to look for matches. But, does anyone have any better suggestion?
Outside of the API, you're probably best off sticking with the manual sorted /roll I don't believe the macro system can evaluate individual dice toss's in a series for equality.
Thanks Mark. I have a Mentor account, or whatever it's called. So, does that mean I have access to API? Or, would I just be biting more than I can chew technically?

I assume it is some other account you are talking about, as you should have [Mentor] in green next to your name for this one if you have a mentor account on it. If you have an account with a Mentor subscription, you have the API. It is found in the Campaign Details for a campaign you created. You can add scripts there which you either write yourself or download from someone who has written one you want to use. There are several ways you could handle the grouping of dice. If you always want the grouping to be listed, you could hook any message with a roll in it, and then print the grouping information for that roll. Alternatively, you could add a command to do the roll for you and print the grouping results, or perhaps add a special tag to a roll which you look for in your script. It all comes down to your requirements. If you don't know Javascript or need help, feel free to post in the API forum and peeps there are usually pretty happy to jump in and help. =D
Great, thanks. I'll post on the API forum and hopefully get somebody to walk me through what I need to do.
