Is there an alternative to console.putmsg() that returns a string instead ofãoutputting to the console? What I'd like to do is to have @-codes, etc.ãinterpreted in a string and save that string so I can then pass that string toãprintf() so I can specify a field length for the text.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã

Thoseãmight not necessarily include length formatting. I'll be taking each line fromãthe message and word-wrapping the line (as the interpreted @-code will likelyãdiffer in length from the @-code) and then displaying the message line on theãscreen with a specific width.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS - digitaldistortionbbs.comã

This text.replace itself goesãthrough each beginning and ending @ code block and translates each one, atãleast as far as I can tell it does. the variable, text, becomes the fullãat-code translated result. ããEither way, you're welcome, and hope it helps. :)ãã---ã>>>[Psi-Jack -//- Decker]ã þ Synchronet þ Decker's Heaven -//- bbs.deckersheaven.comã
