Forums Scripts & Popups Evaluation problems with tokenize, $*, and $+.

To avoid looping through $gettok(), I remembered the ability to use $* after tokenizing something:



This works well and results in:





Now I want to put a word at the end of each message:



This also works well so far and results in:





But I want to have the word right after the character without the space inbetween:



Now this is the part that fails and results in:





Now I do realize that $* is not even part of the help file, probably for several valid reasons,
but is there a way to make this above work the tokenize/$* way?

Thanks!

Here is what you should do:

Hi,

well that's quite tricky, nice, thanks.

Be careful, here #, which is $chan will be evaluated twice, not really safe.

Then what do you suggest to make it safe at this point? By using a safe alias involving the encode and decode?

yes, $regsubex can also be used :

tokenize 32 . ! -
scid -r msg $safe(#) $* $!+ word

for any parameters that you don't know for sure what it can be, use the $safe alias

Hmm, how can it be dangerous if # or $chan is evaluated twice?
I can't see the problem as long as actual channelnames can't have a $ prefix.
And wouldn't $!chan be sufficient?

#$identifier gets evaluated. Compare:
/join #$me
/timer 1 1 join #$me

Of use e.g. for /join #$$?="name of channel?"
(to work regardless of a leading #-char in the user's input)

Ahhh, right, I remember that from the default mIRC aliases, thank you.
