Aligning text - mIRC Discussion Forums

Does some1 knows how to align inputed text and text said by others?

I use:

Code:

on ^*:TEXT:*:#: {
  echo $color(normal text) -tlmi2 $chan &lt; $+ $nick $+ &gt; $+ $char(9) $+ $char(9) $strip($1-,m)
  haltdef
}

So i want that every lign includes two tabs so that the text in the channel are aligned to the left after the nick. Like this:

Code:

&lt;Chandler&gt;      Hi all
&lt;somelongern&gt;   Hi Chandler

that is imposible in channel windows, u can do that only with custom windows.
there is a way to do that with $chr(160) like $str($chr(160),8)

$str($chr(160),$calc(10 - $len($nick)))

Ok, it almost is like i want it too, but there has to be something else, so that behind every nick he uses the same space...

Like in my example... What TheRat suggested puts the text at a certain space from the nick, but when the nick is longer, he put's it further away. Isn't there a command that finds the longest nick?

the length of the nick is $len($nick)

That i allready knew :tongue:

I want someting that can find the longest nick in the chan... ie. Chandler, someothernick and Scatman are in channel #nick, then i would like that a script would find that someothernick is the longest one, puts it in a variable and puts it in the

Code:

*,$calc(10-%variable)

You can look for the NICKLEN param in RAW 005

...and if it not present, assume 9.

Thnx for the tips

ScatMan, You can use $chr(160) in a channel window...
