Okay, I have a trigger that uses a #SUB, and I want it to mimic the original line exactly, however I can't figure out how to add spaces to the beginning of the created line.

The sub I'm using is:
#SUB { %1 for %2,%3,%4,%5Gd %6 $%format(&-.2n,@CAMD)}
(not the 3 spaces at the start)

The original line is:
The following items are for sale:
A: a golden ball for 2,5,0,0Gd (one left).
B: an Allidin's lamp for 6,6,6,66Gd (one left).
C: magic hand mirror for 1,0,0,0Gd (one left).

This is how it appears:
The following items are for sale:
A: a golden ball for 2,5,0,0Gd (one left). $187.50
B: an Allidin's lamp for 6,6,6,66Gd (one left). $499.99
C: magic hand mirror for 1,0,0,0Gd (one left). $75.00

This is how I want it to look:
The following items are for sale:
A: a golden ball for 2,5,0,0Gd (one left). $187.50
B: an Allidin's lamp for 6,6,6,66Gd (one left). $499.99
C: magic hand mirror for 1,0,0,0Gd (one left). $75.00

Any ideas?

Have you tried an anchore?

{^ %1...

Just an idea

try

#sub {%char(32)...}

or

#sub {%repeat(" ",3)...}

Or just this:

#sub {" "%1 and so on}

The "" will make the spaces a string, and hopefully sure that they aren't eaten by the parser.

EDIT: Oh dear, the forums ate two of my spaces. You get the idea anyway.

%repeat(" ",3) worked great, thanks guys. :P
