I would like to do something like so:

{assign_variable:the_entry_id=" {embed="site/number_finder" segment="{segment_3}” }  ” }

But on page its showing:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{’ in /core/core.functions.php(634) : eval()‘d code on line 16

Have you tried assigning the variable in the embedded template, instead of in the embedding template?

Yea, if I do it that way I can’t use the assigned variable in the parent template. An assigned variable will only work it the template you assign it in it seems. I need to use it in the parent, not the embed.

It might have to do with the level of quotations, this is untested but try this

{assign_variable:the_entry_id=”{embed='site/number_finder' segment='{segment_3}'}"}

Thanks Eric, that got it working. 😊
