$gettok works in the same manner, just with a different format

Yours:$1(text goes here)
Current:$gettok(text goes here,1,32)

Yours:$2-3(testing token scripting methods) would return token scripting.
Current: $gettok(testing token scripting methods,2-3,32)

Yours:$-1(well then) would return then
Current:$gettok(well then,-1,32)

Yours:$1-(bunch of text goes here) would return bunch of text goes here
Current:$gettok(bunch of text goes here,1-,32)

Not everyone uses the space character to separate items in a token list, and in some case (eg: having a list of nicks to send a message to) the token separator has to be a comma for the command to work with the list

Sorry, but I can't say that I support this.
