Editing mirc/commands/returnex

The '''/returnex command''' immediately leaves the current subroutine and returns a given value back to the calling routine (if one exists). This command performs the same operation as [[/return command - mIRC|/return]] with the exception of how it handles multiple spaces. All spaces, including leading, trailing, and multiple, are retained. (Normally multiple spaces are collapsed into a single space and leading and trailing spaces are trimmed off).

== Synopsis ==
 /returnex [value]

== Switches ==
None

== Parameters ==
* '''[value]''' - The value to return to the calling routine

== Example ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="mIRC">alias space_example {
  ; Prints 9: <space>A<space><space>B<space><space>C<space>
  echo -a $len($preserve_space)

  ; Prints 5: A<space>B<space>C
  echo -a $len($strip_space)
}

; Return with the spaces intact 
alias preserve_space returnex $get_abc

; Collaps spaces
alias strip_space return $get_abc

; Just an example string "<space>A<space><space>B<space><space>C<space>"
alias get_abc returnex $+($chr(32), A, $chr(32), $chr(32), B, $chr(32), $chr(32), C, $chr(32))</syntaxhighlight>
