andymps A	my script reads from the log, but some things have more than on space like some have alot of spaces to make the numbers line up with the correct bit at the top, now how do it stop it from getting rid of the spaces?

To be brief, there are few circomstances where you can display lines with multiple spaces. /play and /loadbuf can echo lines with many spaces, from a file. You can sometimes $replace spaces with $chr(160) &binvars can manipulate strings that have sequences of spaces in them. - Raccoon

well i did this:

Code:

alias run1 {
  /.set %log %logpath $+ renlog_ $+ $date(m-d-yyyy) $+ .txt
  if ($read(%log, 1)) {
    if (*load* !iswm $read(%log ,1)) &amp;&amp; (*loading* !iswm $read(%log ,1)) {
      /.notice $me [color:red]$replace($read(%log, 1),$chr(32),$chr(160)))[/color] | /.write FDS_Log_ $+ $date(m-d-yyyy) $+ .txt $read(%log , 1) | /.write -dl1 %log
    }
    else {
      if (*loading* !iswm $read(%log ,1)) {
        .write -dl1 %log
      }
      else {
        if (*loading* iswm $read(%log ,1)) {
          /.notice $me [color:red]$replace($read(%log, 1),$chr(32),$chr(160)))[/color] | /.write FDS_Log_ $+ $date(m-d-yyyy) $+ .txt $read(%log , 1) | /.write -dl1 %log
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
