The Subject pretty much says it - I'd like to see a word in the textparser which can be a placeholder for pretty much anything - even nothing. 'anything' would match any input; it'd be pretty much like rol, just that you can also set it at the beginning (Parser.Said("anything tools")) which is not possible with rol.
From manual:
There are a couple of special words you can use with the Said command. "anyword" will match any word that the user types in. For example, Said("throw anyword away") will match if they type "throw dagger away", or "throw trash away". "rol" (short for Rest-of-Line) will match the rest of the user's input. So, you might want to do:
:=
Anyword does not match nothing, stupid. So no :=
Why not try "[anyword]" ?
I'd never checked so it might not work though.

I tried that, too. Didn't work. There *is* a way around it, but I'd really like this to be a parser-intern function.
Sounds like a bug to me, [anyword] should really work. I'll have a look at it.
