Forums Developers Multiple Spaces

I know that, but that's not what i want, I know how to send multiple spaces, but what i want is:

on ^*:TEXT:*:#:{
echo $chan $timestamp < $+ $nick $+ > $replace($1-,$chr(32),$chr(160))
}

For instance, if someone SENDS me a line containing multiple spaces, i want to echo the multiple spaces, but so far, everything i tried, failed.. :@

Any ideas?
