Multiple spaces in alias
 
I have a very simple alias that I want to do ascii text in, calling for reprot.

The text looks like this:
Code:

#send party say RRRRRR    PPPPPP
#send party say RR   RR   PP   PP
#send party say RR    RR  PP    PP
#send party say RR   RR   PP   PP
#send party say RRRRRR    PPPPPP
#send party say RR   RR   PP
#send party say RR    RR  PP
#send party say RR    RR  PP


When I send it to the MUD, it comes out with the spaces being mushed so there's only a single space. obviously, this ruins the effect.

Suggestions?[/code]

Use double-quotes. By definition, everything between " and " is sent to the game verbatim.

If you don't want to use quotes, use #SENDRAW. It does the same thing, but doesn't show anything on-screen (#SEND processes its arguments, #SENDRAW does not).
