Hello there :wave:, i am confused. I take user input then in the user input it might be "bot take rest"
and I converted it to list, then I need to verify(put in if else statement) the first 9 words or if the 9 word is "bot take" or another command. How can I do that 9 words ?

that’s a bit confusing
perhaps you could explain the context?

Simply, I just want to take the first 9 words as string from the user input

To get the first 9 words as list you can for example do
```input.splitToSequence(' ', limit = 10).take(9).toList()```

Or
```input.split("""\s+""".toRegex(), limit = 10).take(9)```

<@U0152P3VB5J> sorry, I mean letter but this way (that you tell me in the top) is much straight forward and easy than that I ask (with single letter)  thank you very much :smiley:

`if ("bot take rest".startsWith("bot take ")) { ... }`
