In my script editor whenever i enter a line like:

quote:

Antimagic 29 1000
it changes it to
Antimagic 29 1000

how can i get it to keep the spaces in between the values?

Edited: Put in the quote to see the spaces.

What is the goal to keep the spaces?

Are you trying to #SH, say it, assign it to a variable?

i want to put it in my bio as part of a bot. so when i enter the command: dobio
I have a heading like
Name Qty Price
<name> <qtyvar> <price>

so I need the spaces in there to keep it somewhat organized so it doesnt all run together depending on the different names and quantities and such. Do you know what I mean?

If you have all your data in a database variable or in separate variables
you could do a loop to cycle through them all as they change and use
%format() to output it pretty.

Would that work for you? Something akin to:
%format("&15s",Name)%format("&15s",Qty)%format("&15s",Price)
%format("&15s",@name)%format("&15.0n",@Qtyvar)%format("&15.0n",@Price)

This is what I have in that instance, and it just feeds the first word of each line to the mud, omitting the quantity in the variables and the price.

This is entirely unrelated, I just have to ask. Are you the same PrestoPimp from Tribes?

I used to play tribes like a year ago or so, but not currently. Anyone else using my name is a fake.. because I have it registered with anything important.

You should not rely on the output of functions to be sent to the MUD correctly. For this purpose, you should pass this output to commands like #EXEC or #SEND. What I mean is that instead of doing something like:
%format( "&6s", Antimagic Shell) %format( "&6s", @antimagic) %format( "&6s", 15000)

you should do:
#EXEC {%concat(%format( "&6s", Antimagic Shell), %format( "&6s", @antimagic), %format( "&6n", 15000))}

or with #SEND if you don't want to see the command sent to the MUD.

By the way, I changed the last %format from "&6s" to "&6n", because 15000 is a number not a string.

All I need to know, is if there is anyway for the script editor not to take away the spaces that I want to enter so that they will send to the mud the exact way I want them.

Enclose the command in double-quotes.
