/returnex
Indice
The /returnex command immediately leaves the current subroutine and returns a given value back to the calling routine (if one exists). This command performs the same operation as /return with the exception of how it handles spaces. All spaces, including leading, trailing, and multiple, are retained. (Normally multiple spaces are collapsed into a single space and leading and trailing spaces are trimmed off).
This command was added undocumented mainly to allow people to call an identifier in the subtext parameter of $regsubex”), without seeing their returned value missing spaces but you can use it for that purpose anywhere.
