[SA 7.5.501 Pro] - $CURRENT(param1)$. How does it work?

How do CURRENT macros with params work? Is there a predefined list of separators for the parameters? Could they be overridden or changed?

It doesn't appear to be documented in the User's Guide. But I found some tips here http://www.softtreetech.com/support/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=23790&highlight=current+param2

So they refer to tokens (same as words) in the text. By word we mean a series of text characters separated by white spaces and/or non alphanumeric characters with an exception of a series of characters enclosed in double quotes. For example,

	Code:
	"word1 && spaces" word2,word3 _word4_

The above contains four logical tokens

Thanks, that clears it up a bit. I also made some experiments and it turned out that period is handled as a token, brackets are seen as separators, but anything between parentheses vanishes, that is, using

	Code:
	[$CURRENT(param4)$] [$CURRENT(param3)$] [$CURRENT(param2)$] [$CURRENT(param1)$]

as snippet
and

	Code:
	a.b a..b funct(arg) funct[param]

as code
will end up as

	Code:
	[] [a] [.] [b] [a] [.] [.] [b] [] [] [] [funct] [] [] [funct] [param]

This is fine, and could be used to "dismantle" but it also restricts its use quite a bit.

May I request a feature enhancement?

If there were options (like Escape quotes) to the CURRENT macro in case Parameter x is used that would allow periods and parentheses to be handled as part of the word, it would widen the versatility of this macro. Right now, if I want to pass objects as parameters I either have to guess if it's going to be multi-parted and create the snippet prepared to that (resulting in those hard-to-edit-later snippets) or put the multi-parted object into double quotes. On the other hand, if its behavior could be consequently altered to handle objects as words and not drop things in parentheses, thus dropping the surplus double quotes instead, I already see about half a dozen snippets where this could be used efficiently...

I have submitted that as a new enhancement request. Thank you.
