Argument Separation

[ghostscript]

I am running Eggdrop 1.4 and am trying to design a simple script that takes the input "!taken abcde edcba" and serparates it into varibles equal abcde and edcba respectively.

Code: Select all

        set $i [string first " " $args 0]
        set $j [string length $args]
        set $tfirst [string range $args 0 [$i-1]]
        set $tsecond [string range $args [$i+1] $j]

Any help would be most appicated.

you need to learn about using Tcl lists (what you want is usually done using [lindex])

Tried changing to using lindex. Looks like it should work but i get empty returns now. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

Code: Select all

        set tfirst [lindex $args 0]
        set tsecond [lindex $args 1]

make sure you are getting in $args what you expect to get and use [split] on it

That worked wonders. Thank you very much. ~bows~
