firstly, i see no difference between those 2 examles
pehraps this fourm has the same problem unless u use pre tags or
but thats not realy relevent
mIRC is a space dependent language .. this is one of the largest (at least from my own personal experence talking to users) complaints about the language itself
although mIRC is a very very nice language, even taking this one shortcomeing into acount .. there is no work around to this problem that i've been able to come up with yet myself.
so to the best of my knowledge u cant work with more than one adjacent space in a string within mIRC.
sorry,
Cobra^
