Spoof, before you made a bold statement to accuse me of misleading people, have you tested my example and seen if $2 returned a value? (Yeah, you did test everything? Really?) It did return one for me. The /S modifier will strip out color codes, so I don't understand what you're up to regarding color talker scripts.
I'm here to help with the best of my ability and not here to be barked at by those, including yourself, with a harsh tone and behave like a hotshot asshole. Please mind your manners and learn to be a humble human being. Don't ever forget where you come from when you start out as a novice.
