Forums Scripts & Popups $rawmsg to &bvar

I received $rawmsg from server with spaces ($chr 32), how to save it to binary variable for future parsing?

Only $alias($rawmsg) saves spaces, but command /bset -t &bvar 1 $rawmsg loses their


Update: echo -a $len($rawmsg) = $len($replace($rawmsg,$chr(32),$chr(160))) works great, but may be there are other solutions

you have the right idea with $replace(). however, since $chr(160) may appear in $rawmsg, it's inadvisable to use it in this case; you would be obliged to substitute any pre-existing $chr(160) characters back using a technique similar to the one i provided in this post:

it's safe to use $lf for the replacements, since you can be absolutely sure that $rawmsg won't contain it:

aw-w-wesome about $chr 10
many thanks!

Character 10 is the character for LINEFEED (same as $lf). You are best using something like %2A instead of a single character.
