Hello, first i'm sorry if there are errors in my writing, I do not have a very good English. I am trying to create a command called ''!report''. The idea of this command is only to be fun for users. The command is supposed to work in this way:

User: !report @member* use the pacman (:v)*

and bot reply...

Nighbot: The user @member* has been reported for ''use the pacman (:v)''.*

My problem is that I can’t use argument variables $(1-9), as the idea is that the user’s ''reason'' is unlimited words. Nor can I use $(query) as this repeats exactly what the user says and i could not customize the bot response. Is there a way to do this with a customapi or something?

The following javascript code puts the arguments in an array "args". It can also be used to have a custom seperator (if you don't want to split at each space but at each colon for instance, juste replace \ \ with \:\ in split).

javascript
$(eval
  args=decodeURIComponent(`$(querystring)`).split(` `);
  // then do your stuff
)

Hey @Tiny Cat!

Following on the answer of @Cosmic Elephant, here's how you'd make your command:

$(eval q=decodeURIComponent(`$(querystring)`).split(` `); u=q.shift().replace(`@`,``); `The user ${u} has been reported for "${q.join(` `)}."`)
