Forums Bug Reports $gettok bug

set %var ,,hi
echo -a $gettok(%var,1,44) its returns hi when it must return ,hi
well this is just an example the same happens with any tokken identifier that uses a coma.

This is correct behaviour. All token identifers treat consecutive delimiters as one, and ignore leading and trailing delimiters.

So if your delimiter is a comma ($chr(44)) then these are the same:
hi
,,,,hi,,,,,,,,,,,
,hi,
They all consist of 1 token hi. a delimiter is never part of a token.

Also these 2 would be equivalent
a,b,c,d,e
,,,,a,,,,,,,b,,,,c,d,,,e,,
For both strings the first token is a, the third c and the last e.

qwerty's $gettokn() works the way you want.
