no mean to be rude or anything, but did either of you actually read my post in its entirety?

the reason for wanting this is nothing more than making scripting faster and more legible. 99% of the $gettok's i use are for spaces, or the current token i'm using.

that's why i said
"have it determine which token you would like to use either by always assuming space, or even better use the character that was used when the tokenize command was issued"

i am very familiar with the gettok command, too familiar even. it's getting annoying to do $gettok(,1,32) every time that could just do $1().

granted, this is not the most innovative feature ever, but i think it would add a nice touch is all.
