This maybe a dumb question but how do I get the command to say the phrase and not the value

I'm trying to get the Find Actor command to say "Here are all Ashley Judd movies."
but right now it is saying "Here are all (the Value number) movies."....instead of the phrase

Sounds like you're looking for "friendly payloads"?

{PF.1}, etc. instead of {1}

TIPS: POST VC VERSION #. Explain what you want VC to do. Say what you've tried & what happened, or post a video demo. Attach VC log. Link to instructions followed.  Post your command (xml)

In case it helps for future challenges, there is a custom Google search field on the home page of the wiki at the top: http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

So if you enter your search terms there, it will search both the forum and the wiki.

Usually, the wiki results are worth looking at first (unless you're looking for specific command xml or information about an error message or something like that).

Just as an example, if I search there for: "payload phrase" or "payload phrase instead of value", I get some not very helpful forum posts, but the top wiki results have the answer I need:
