Forums Bug Reports spaces

why can't u fix that bug with the sapces that u can't use more then one chr 32 ??

this has been discussed many of times. It has to do with how mirc tokenized the string. Mirc divides the string by the character 32. Lets deal with a more visible character delimiter such as a period. If you have

Hello.There.....kingtomato
and tokenize that by 46, you get
$1 - Hello
$2 = There
$3 = KingTomato

Now if we allowed "null tokens" you could get

$1 - Hello
$2 - There
$3 -
$4 -
$5 -
$6 -
$7 - KingTomato

Okay, now same with a space. If mirc allowed you to have "null" tokens the problem would be solved. Now you may be wondering why it isn't so. Well, lets look at it in the perspecive of some loops. Some loops depend ona "null" for EOS (end of string) definition. Now with conceivably 4 nulls and a final word that checksum is destroyed. You could also use $0 i supposed, and not be done until the variable == $0. Im almost positive there are more reasons why it isn't so, but due to lack of ambition and energy im not going to put my mind at work. If I think of one why blindly surfing the internet, i will post it.

i'm not talking about /tokenize 'ing , i want to know why the other spaces are stripped off in the command, for example //echo -a - $+ $str($chr(32),10) $+ -
put one space instead of 10, it has nothing to do with tokens
so even if there is no $null tokens my example should work

He was using tokenizing to describe how mIRC treats spaces, as the /tokenize command pretty much sums up how mIRC internally deals with spaces. But anyway, this topic has been done to death.

Use the search feature and you'll find dozens of threads about this "bug" (*coughs* feature (tm) *coughs). Search for "Whitespace" I think.

use binary vars if you want to work with more than one space together /help $bvar

no.. that's not helping
try to send a msg to a channel with more then one space together
if u type it normal without /msg or something (just type the msg in the editbox) it will work cuz mirc send it with the spaces
but if u are using /msg or something mirc will strip them and then send

That is because it never goes through mirc's script parser. That is the only time spaces are preserved, unless you are using binary variables. Changing the way mIRC handles spaces in scripts would break a lot of stuff in use today. Also, as others said, this topic has been beat to death. To add some spaces in, you could try using $chr(160) which in many fonts looks like a space, or:


Surrounding spaces with bold characters will preserve the spaces.

break what stuff ?
i don't understand

altering mirc so that multiple spaces are allowing would (almost definaly) cause any script relying on the current setup to fail, thus "break"

Now, we've talked this subject to death, there are undoubtidly 100's of posts on double spaces, why are you bringing this up now..
