Adding more then one space...
|
My problem is relatively simple, but I don't know how to fix it. I would like to create an alias that simply has two statements in it, but the second statement should have about 30 spaces or so before it, depending on the size of the first. This is for muds where I want to have some gossips displayed on two lines. At any rate, I need to have pretty printing and non-one-line-commands for all the scripting I do, but if I have it on and try to add more then one space, zmud in turn reduces it to one. Is there a way I can avoid this?

What I used to do to accomplish that is just alternate tildes and spaces... like:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~... essentially "~ " is one extra space |

Not sure if it still works, but for illusions I used to put " " around the spaces, and it worked once... a long time ago.

Try: %format("&"%eval(%len(%2)+30)"s","%2")
This will return the second parameter of the alias, prepadded with 30 spaces in front. |
