The advantage here is that it works for more than one word!

---

Also with split function works for more than one word

---

But not when you have "/command" in your actual message, read edited post.

I'm soo slow at editing...

---

It's improbably that "/command" is in message however
You are right split is not the best way to parse command...However
you can also do this:

code:

---

function OnGetScriptCommands(){
var commands = "<ScriptCommands>";
        commands += "  <Command>"
        commands += "    <Name>command</Name>"
        commands += "    <Description>TheGuruSupremacy</Description>"
        commands += "  </Command>"
        commands += "</ScriptCommands>"
return commands;}
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
if (Message.substring(0,8)=="/command"){
var url="http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?variable=" + Message.substring(8,Message.lenght)
Interop.Call("shell32","ShellExecuteW",0,"open",url,null,null,1)
MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Example",Message.substring(8,Message.lenght))
return "";}}

Therefore, it's more common to use regular expressions. They're harder to understand and learn, but they avoid a lot of problems you can have when using such split() calls.

Yes it's true but is not necessary using regular expressions to parse a command..

It might not be necessary to use regular expressions, but it sure is nicer.  Have a look at CookieRevised's reply to [Release] Exit WLM for some really good examples.
