EDIT: how can i make a regular expression to split "hello world, hi" into "hello" and "world, hi" will

code:

---

RegExp(/^\s+(\S+)\s+(.+)$/i).exec(sMessage)

do it?

teaching regular expressions via a post here is way to difficult. I suggest you read up on some tutorials. And start by learning the syntax of regular expressions as used in JScript:
* MSDN: Regular Expression Syntax
* MSDN: Regular Expression Object
* some unofficial tutorial (this tutorial is specifically for JavaScript, not JScipt. There are differences!
* etc...

The proper code for what you want could be something like:

code:

---

RegExp(/^(\S+)\s+(.+)$/i).exec(sMessage)

---

RegExp.$1 will be "hello"
RegExp.$2 will be "world, hi"

Note that for the above regular expression the sMessage variable _must_ be in the form of "something<at least 1 spacing character>something" or it will not work.

See my long previous post, it includes two pieces of code which split a string into "something" and "all the rest".
