My intention was to strip out the control codes if called by someone using them to trigger the script. Although it may seem the tokenize part is sorta excessive for a small script like this one, with only one $1- in it, it'll be another story if you have more than one $1- used in a script. That means you'll have to use $strip() everywhere to cover them. I'm not too big in using the $strip() identifier, but I always thought that'd affect a script's workability if someone's font is made out of control codes, which needs to be stripped to successfully initiate it. I may be mistaken, but please do correct me so I can steer myself in the right direction.
