This group seemed like the most logical place for this comment.

I remember seeing that script in the script library about the soundex alternative so I thought I'd cut-n-paste and give it a test drive. Turns out when you cut-n-paste it from here, the carriage returns are stripped out. Now, I could go through breaking and tabulating it where I thought it made sense, but I'm a bit too novice to trust that I'd have any success.

Is there a way to get the code from the post below with the carriage returns intact?

PS: please move this topic if I've posted to the wrong forum.
Thanks

Wow! I never knew we had a script like this one...very impressive!

Where are you pasting it to? When I paste it into Query Analyzer it comes out perfectly. If you want to paste it in the forums with the indentation in all its glory, place the text inside [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without the spaces).

I have the same problem with it all showing up on one line when I paste it into QA. So here's what you can do:

Click on the Reply with Quote tool button (paper with arrow pointing in). This will show you what the original post code looks like. In there you can copy & paste it into QA and it will come out fine. Just remember to click your browser's back button so you don't actually end up re-posting the whole message.
