Code:

h:e:l:l:o:' ':h:o:w:' ':a:r:e:' ':y:o:u

What i get is

This should work (as per demo) but it will not put the spaces. I have tried all sorts of variation and other symbols, searched & searched google and even tried on some IRC channels but no joy, cheers

Just a wild guess, but try putting the space inside the quotes.
A space IS a character, just like an 'a' or a 'b' is.

sorry i misunderstand, the "spaces" are inside quotes (just single quotes) , but iv tried treating the space as just another chr

Code:

 h:e:l:l:o: :h:o:w

also tried

Code:

h:e:l:l:o:" ":h:o:w
h:e:l:l:o' 'h:o:w
h:e:l:l:o" "h:o:w
h:e:l:l:o:(space):h:o:w
h:e:l:l:o:'(space)':h:o:w

And a few others

The sample text for this just says this about spaces :-

Quote:

' '(space) = space

It is irresponsible of me to get into this, because I am not too familiar with what you want to do, but what the heck.

From your example above :

Quote:

h:e:l:l:o:' ':h:o:w:' ':a:r:e:' ':y:o:u

what happens when if you tried :

h:e:l:l:o: :' ':h:o:w: :' ':a:r:e: :' ':y:o:u :

Damn. this page is converting my spaces to smileys !

I inserted a space and a colon at the end of each word, before the end quote.

From the example (emphasis is mine):

Code:

the left column shows the input and the right column shows what to type.

"enter" (i.e. new line)                Enter or Return
a (i.e. small a)                          A
A (i.e. capital a)                       Shift+A
: (colon)                                  Shift+;
' '  (space)                              Space

Try:

Code:

h:e:l:l:o:space:h:o:w

h:e:l:l:o:space:h:o:w

Yes, thank you very much, this worked (i was sure i tried that one too , dam ^^) Although the right column shows "Space" with a capital so i might have tried that. great stuff though, thx.

Code:

e:l:l:o:space:h:o:
