For a true space, you should use $chr(32), as any other ascii value might return something that doesn't look like a space based on the font being used.
One work around for the multiple spacing, for output messages, is to use something like <bold>space<bold>space<bold>space<bold>
the bold tags will prevent mIRC from removing the extra spaces, since the spaces aren't literally side-by-side.
The above example creates what looks like 3 spaces, and will work no matter what font you're using.
Thnx your trick did the job
