How can I make my script deal with multi-line input? I.e. suppose my script can already deal with, say

!setattr --sel --Strength|15 --Dexterity|17 --Strawberry|Jam as well as Pie

How do I make it also accept (TokenMod-style)

!setattr {{
	--sel
	--Strength|15
	--Dexterity|17
	--Strawberry|Jam as well as Pie
	}}

msg.content = msg.content.replace(/<br\/>\n/g, ' ').replace(/({{(.*?)}})/g, " $2 ");

This is what TheAaron did for me for PowerCards.

Thanks, that helped me get on the right track! I ended up going with

.replace(/<br\/>\n/g, '').replace(/({{(.*?)\s*}}$)/g, "$2")

The reason for the " $2 " was to avoid issues where a user didn't indebt their commands on the following lines. I then split on /\s+--/ to break into sub commands.
