can anyone make me a snippet that removes every second character from a text document starting from the first character?
-h-e-l-l-o- -t-h-e-r-e
i got a corrupted file that has added an extra character every second character. i'd use $remove but it's a space so that doesnt really help

when you say it has a space do you mean that it's a space where the -'s are like
h e l l o t h e r e and is there a double space between words or just a single space.
yeah, there's a space between each chatacter, as well as around each space, so it's quite literally where i've put the dashes (there's a space between each character and the original spaces have become 3 spaces)

you could try something like $remove($replace($replace(%text,$chr(32),-),--,$chr(32)),-)
close but it removes all spaces because it would be three dashes in a row, not two. i tried 3 too but that didnt work either - mirc takes the 3 spaces as 1 space then processes the result
