Stop Macro Arguments

So I am converting my Shapeoko CNC from using their GRBL controller to a Duet 3 (running in SBC mode with RRF 3.3rc3). The Gcode files use M0 commands for tool changes like this:

G90
G21
(Advanced....)
M05
M0 ;T102
M03S18000
G0X88.252Y122.935Z12.700
G1Z-0.762F381.0
Y127.648F1143.0
X92.965
X92.186Y127.035
X91.305Y126.271
X90.390Y125.396
X89.603Y124.566
X88.843Y123.688
X88.252Y122.935
...

I can use the stop.g macro to handle this (I think). My question is if the ;T102 that comes after the M0 is passed as an option to the stop.g file. T102 represents the endmill to use and I would like to have the stop.g macro prompt the user to load that tool.

M0 terminates the job, so it makes no sense to have any GCode commands after it.

@dc42 well that sucks. Guess Ill have to write a secondary post processor to convert GRBL gcode files to something RRF can process. Most of the software used by Hobby CNCs seem to use M0 for tool changes like this.

Woohoo! After playing around with a bunch of settings I was able to get the CAM software to export with M6 commands so all I need to do is implement my own /sys/M6.g macro. No post processing needed.
