If you would have taken the time to actually examine my code you would have seen the following line:
aline @scores $gettok($v1,2,95) $($v1,2)
Which actually should have had range 2-, but I didn't think of it at the time.
However, using $gettok or $remove has important shortcomings.
For remove: if you have a nickname that contains the string "test_" in it, it will remove that as well, corrupting the nickname.
For $gettok: will remove the first and trailing delimiters, $gettok(____test____,1-,95) = test
Your best bet could be to use a simple $mid like:
//echo -a $mid(% $+ test__tester_nick__,7)
