Ok, this will probably be like flame central, but I actually would like to know the differences when using the lindex command

set text [lindex $arg 0]

-Thats the bad way, how is it bad, will it crash the bot on special characters etc?

set text [lindex [split $arg] 0]

-Now this will display special characters? If so, what characters are only shown with this version?

Probably some easier questions, but I just wanna figure this stuff out.

lindex is a "list" command.
the string needs to be changed from a string to a list.
the "split" command accomplishes this.

If $arg is "[die]", tho bot will die when you lindex it. Split protects that by making it a list, as Dedan stated.

If you're having trouble with using list commands on strings, I suggest you read http://www.peterre.com/characters.html.
