Macro with dynamic text?

Hi all, I am looking for a way to prompt the user for some text, then use that text in the macro.  The simplest example I can think of would be like this. Chat Command invokes macro: #attack Edit Box shows up and I type in  [Joe] And the macro spits out /desc The dwarf attacks you $string. The dwarf attacks you Joe. I know the example is dumb, but I think it shows what I am shooting to do.  Thanks in advance

Thanks for Reply, I do appreciate it. I dont think it covers what I am trying to do though, I want a macro that I send text to, that will spit it back out to chat.&nbsp; I don't want to have to type /desc, I want to be able to call a macro. So something like: #trance Edit box pops up&nbsp;&nbsp; [John] /desc And so $string1 falls into a ~~slumber~~. or maybe I dont need an edit box, maybe I can just do #trance John ???

Just create a macro with that code in it. #Trance has the code: /desc And so ?{Name?} falls into a ~~slumber~~. Typing #Trance into chat brings up the input box. Typing John and pressing submit outputs "And so John falls into a ~~slumber~~" into the chat window in a description template.

On my macro bar I have "Whisper" to speed that process up a bit as I like to trim my input as much as possible.&nbsp; Clicking it makes me select the appropriate token and then pops up an input box, I type my message and it whispers to that token: /w @{Target|token_name} ?{msg} Obviously you don't need to make it a whisper...

I think this is what I was looking for.&nbsp; Thanks for all the replies, I learn so much from this forum.&nbsp;&nbsp; My master plan isnt quite complete yet...&nbsp; I am trying to put that text in a HTML output. /desc [?{TextHere}] (#" style="color:blue) But it just dumps it to chat without parsing it... is there a magic trick to make it parse correctly?

You cannot have a space between the closing bracket and opening parenthesis: Bad:&nbsp; /desc [?{TextHere}] (#" style="color:blue) Good:&nbsp; /desc [?{TextHere}](#" style="color:blue)
