Good evening fellow mIRC users,

Can anyone help me why the colon is not printed following command:

//tokenize 32 a b | say $* $+ : hi

The result is:
a hi
b hi

Where as I would expect:
a: hi
b: hi

Thank you in advance

Not sure if this is possible. $* is quirky and not really officially supported. $* has to be handled independently of other identifiers since it doesn't follow the standard behavior of simply returning a value.

What happens with $* is that mIRC takes the whole command and its parameter, replaces $* with `~$*, then evaluates the code so "say `~$* $+ : hi", resulting in "say `~$*: hi" and only then, at the end, replaces with the correct parameter from $N, removing any character sticked to it.

Try:

//tokenize 32 a b | scon -r msg $!active $* $!+ : hi

Ah, I see. Thank you guys.

What's up with the good old while loop through the $gettok()?
