Leading spaces and multiline pasting...
 
Hi guys... Is is possible to turn off the trimming of leading spaces when I do a multiline paste? I want it to just send it as is, as it is some ascii art. Annoying having to do it line-by-line. *grin* :) Thanks in advance! :)

Use quotes ("") or braces ({}) to encapsulate the captured information, braces may work better.

That would probably work too. I just figured out that if I use the editor (ctrl-shift-enter), that I can send in raw mode, and that works pretty good. :) But thanks for that other idea. :)

Could you explain this a little better? I am also having this problem with leading spaces. I want the paragraph block to be taken unchanged and yet without fail it removes all indentation. Nothing I do seems to change it's behavior.

I have tried everything I can think of. I am sitting here staring at it in offline mode, it's not the server, it's zMud. %s, %*, &*, &%*, I've tried them all and more in an attempt to keep the original formatting of the text. Nothing seems to work.

I want to capture paragraphs intact, unchanged. Here's a simple example which doesn't work because of zMUDs dire hatrid of all things space like.

Code:
                          This is an outrageously indented paragraph as a boring example of what zMUD does to my text.


Code:

#TRIGGER {^&*$} {#VAR DescLine {%1}

Damn you zMUD. Why do you hate spaces so?
