Forums Bug Reports Error: in event on input

$1- of the on input event doesn't return true value if i write:
test(space)(space)(space)(space)(space)test
it returns :
test test
it trim de spaces..

not a bug, just is the way mirc handles tokens. Mirc divides the words by spaced to get $1, $2, ..., $N so any "whitespace" is killed. Same if you had

var %a = 1, %test = 1.......2.3.4.5
while ($gettok(%text, %a, 46)) {
var %N [ $+ [ %a ] ] = $gettok(%test, %a, 46)
/inc %a
}

%N1 = 1
%N2 = 2
%N3 = 3

The multiple delimiters are converted into 1.

It would be nice if the $editbox identifer would retain what was in the editbox before the input event, in the input event... Identifers do not have the space problems that aliases and arguments to events have...

thats an easy case, what if u want 2 count spaces in a string that u have readen in a file?
the only way is to use &binVars.

or you could use
$str($chr(32),5)

And how would that help. Mirc would still enterpret one space. mirc uses spaces as a token delimiter, i.e. when text is passed, and mirc provides the ability to use $1, $2, $3, ..., $N then all "whitespace" is minimized to 1 space.
