Tab delimit it then.
Or new line if the elements already have tabs
Or some sort of special character if they have new lines too (but then you may want to write another function for breaking it apart)

I've only found this a problem if you echo the entire string.

Uristqwerty:

--- Code: ---%str = "Word!"; for(%i = 0; %i < 10240; %i++){%str = setword(%str, %i, getword(%str, %i - 1));}
--- End code ---
Won't overflow with just string operations.

A worse problem is that, I believe, it may cut off long strings when sent over the network, but that could have changed, or it could be fixed by sending the length first, and including a system to request later parts that were lost, or just send it in small chunks in the first place.

Now that you mention it, yeah, someone posted recently that they're limited to 255 bytes.

So disregard my suggestion

Ipquarx:
best way is to use a clientcmd with multiple arguments, up to 16 i believe. And if that's not enough, use multiple clientcmds.

You can have infinite arguments in any type of function. Although, with networked functions, data is cut off once reaching 255 bytes.
