Added some stuff to vecho to increase usage compatibility with echo command.
Mostly, that is the /s+ and /s- switch. It used to only do /s-. Now, it
defaults to /s+ for
added compatibility.
example:
vecho /bGray /fBlack Hello /fRed there /fGreen my /fBlue friend /fBlack .
Previously: Hellotheremyfriend.
Now: Hello there my friend .
The /s- and /s+ will switch into and out of the previous way of handling
multiple parameters.
So, What is wanted would be this command.
vecho /bGray /fBlack Hello /fRed there /fGreen my /fBlue friend /s- /fBlack .
Previously: Hello there my friend.
Multiple spaces between strings (like unix and linux) are ignored unless quoted.
example: vecho Hello there, Bob.
produces: Hello there, Bob.
example: vecho /s- Hello there, Bob.
produces: Hellothere,Bob.
example: vecho "Hello there,” “Bob."
produces: Hello there, Bob.
example: vecho /s- "Hello there,” “Bob."
produces: Hello there,Bob.
There really is a whole lot of stuff packed into vecho’s 2.5kb executable.
