What IRC client are you using?

Not all clients support formatted text.

On top of this, not all fonts support formatted text (using spaces).

And again, not all client scripts support formatting. mIRC has a very large problem when it comes to formatted text. If you leave mirc to display text on it's own (EG, not halting a ON TEXT event), it will work fine (font permitting). Once you start halting a script, and using echo with $1-, all spaces are lost.

Just a quick question,

When trying to output a formatted msg, the formatting will remain if i use a putlog, but using putserv/putquick/puthelp, the formatting disappears.

(multiple spaces turn into 1 space.)
(using tcl format command on the data)

Is there a way to get around this, and how so.

I'm not sure what formatting you are doing, but loading the below script on a bot, produces a formatted line on irc and the partyline:

Code:

 !format hello           world           I am a bot     !!!and on the partyline:[02:03] LINE: hello           world           I am a bot     !!![02:03] <> !egghead! !format

Code:

bind PUB - !format showformatproc showformat { nick uhost hand chan text } {   set stringA "hello"   set stringB "world"   set stringC "I am a bot"   set line [format "%-15s %-15s %-15s" $stringA $stringB $stringC]   append line !!!   putlog "LINE: $line"   puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$line"   return 1}

I believe if you escape them (space \ space \ space \ etc) it will work; Don't hold me to that though.

Edit - I just tested it, and it worked fine.

Code:

putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :\ \ \ \ \ \ \ test \ \ \ \ \ ."
