Hello, I'm a novice and just having a small issue with some macros. I need to be able to use sequencial spaces in /msg or /say without mIRC consolidating them into one space.

i.e.

/msg # blah (imagine several spaces) blah

which will output as;

blah blah

I want all the spacing to stay. Any ideas?

Try using spaces.dll by Saturn.

does $chr(160) not work? $str($chr(160),5)

depends on the font being used. In most fonts, $chr(160) looks like a space character, but not all.
This is part of the reason spaces.dll was created.

Aside from what RusselB mentioned, $chr(160) is not a space. It just looks like one. Personally I don't believe it is a viable way of inserting spaces into your own text, nor a good way to put spaces into incoming text (especially if you wish to use tools like "grep" to search the text).

The DLL mentioned above is an excellent tool, which I've been using for quite some time.
