: ''We tokenize the A B using token 32, which is the character for spaces. The script then asks the user for a 3rd token value, via '''$?3'''. Once the user enters that value, it is then echoed to the active window. If we use $?2 instead, B will be used without asking anything.''

===Advanced===

This area contains one advanced example that is still pretty basic, but details how this sort of input can be extracted for a more demanding outcome.
  
 +
<source lang="mIRC">
 +
alias testme {
 +
  var %start = $?="Please input a number to start the count from:", %end = $?="Please input a number to stop the count at:"
 +
  if ((%start isnum) && (%end isnum) && (%start < %end)) {
 +
    while (%start <= %end) {
 +
      echo -a %start
 +
      inc %start
 +
    }
 +
  }
 +
  else { echo -a Error: Invalid data or start value larger than end value! }
 +
}
 +
</source>

# This will create two variables, '''%start''' & '''%end''', which take in user input.
 +
# The script verifies that the numbers are actual numbers, and that the start value is less than the end value.
 +
# The script then begins a [[while command - mIRC|while loop]] that only repeats if %start is less than or equal to %end.
 +
# The loop echoes the contents of '''%start''' to the active screen, and then increments (increases) the value of %start by 1.
 +
# If the '''if''' comparison is not fully true, the loop is avoided altogether and an error is echoed to the active window instead.
