Hi Guys,
what is the equivalent for the mIRC tab character in tcl, i tried using \t but it seem that the mirc client isn't understanding it.
Thanks |

The above may or may not sort something out.

Here you go:
| Code: |
.tcl string map {"\011" ""} "dfd sfs sdfs dfew rwe fd"
Tcl: dfdsfssdfsdfewrwefd
|
You can represent the tab character in ASCII octal format: \011

\t and \011 would produce the same character, being the "normal" tab character. I do not know which character mirc might be using for tabs or spaces (been way too long since I messed with mirc).
However, if you're able to generate the character from within mirc, you could use this tiny piece of code to get the decimal value of that character (requires that you enable the .tcl-command unfortunately):
| Code: | | .tcl scan "your_char_here" "%c" |
Or this to convert it to an octal value:
| Code: | | .tcl format "%03o" [scan "your_char_here" "%c"] |
One third option (which is used with eggdrop's help-system), is to simply count the number of characters in a column, and add just the right amount of spaces to reach the next column. Abit messy, and not so pretty, but it does work.

A fresh copy of mIRC won't truncate the tabs so \t should work properly. If you're using a custom theme or script, these usually truncate all extra spaces down to 1.
