After some time of inactivity concerning PlusRemote, I decided to rewrite it. It will use a new way to extract commands and arguments, and therefor many features will improve dramatically.
Using Regular Expressions it will extract agruments in a way most programmers, and hopefully everyone will understand.

code:

---

    1:  var args = new Array(Message);
    2:  var re = /["](?:\\"|[^"])*["]|\S+/g;
    3:  while((match = re.exec(Message)) != null){
    4:         item = match.toString().replace(/(^")|("$)/g,"").replace(/\\"/g, "\"");
    5:         args.push(item);
    6:  }

As you can see, i've learnt Regular Expressions very well, because -if i may say so myself- it's a very intelligent script that does the following:

On line 1 it will create a new array that will soon contain the decrypted commands and arguments, with args[0] being the full, unencrypted string that was used for input.

On line 2 you will find the brain behind it all. It will split the message by the spaces, but leave strings with spaces in "string with spaces"-format fully intact. And can leave, in such a string the escaped quotation marks intact also.
For example, if someone types:

code:

---

!command hello "my name is" "Harry \"freshman\" Johnson"

---

it will extract

code:

---

!command
hello
"my name is"
"Harry \"freshman\" Johnson"

---

On line 3 it will loop for every arguments found (end at line 6)

On line 4 it will clean up the arguments, removing the first and last quotation mark, and will replace every escaped quotation mark, with just a quotation mark.

On line 5 it will put every single cleaned-up argument found in the array args[]


This piece of code you may use in your script free of charge, but as a thanks I would like to be noted on the Aboutscreen of your script

PS: further updates coming...
