Posted something similar on XDA, might as well show my hand here.

I wanted to make a mobile exchange of sorts between Bitcoin and PayPal where if I get a text from something like Coinapault saying that "[email protected] *or mobile number* sent you 0.31btc ($1.63). recover here: *snip* or reply 'help me'. Message: Blah Blah Blah," I could immediately turn it around into PayPal's sms number and say "send [email protected] $1.63" by being able to pull the address and the amount out of the first text as variables. (Assuming it's done at cost, probably gonna take something.)

Entirely new to this depth of tasker programming and while I got an idea of what I can use to pull this off, I'm a little stuck on the logistics of labeling variables to be used elsewhere on the fly, and I can't debug it without sending texts over and over again. Anyone got any pointers or can tell me where I can stick it, being a script kitty newb?

Edit: I've got .31 BTC on me if you really want it, but idea itself is probably worth more.
