I am writing some reports that need to be columned. I have written code with calculates the $len(%name) and then prefixes/suffixes the data with $chr(32) enough to fill a column. This was unsuccessful as mirc seems to ignore spaces. It then dawned on me to use tab characters to get to a desired column start. Having figured that short names require an extra tab, I used $iif($len( $gettok($1,1,59)) > 5, $+ $chr(9), $+ $chr(9) $+ $chr(9) ) . This, and other attempts, to use tabs was unsuccessful as it appears that mirc also ignores tab characters on output to a #channel window. Is there a workaround for this?
