alternate quotation marks for es_format

Mattie: ATM its not possible to use es_format within an alias because the " "'s throw off the alias'ing. Would it be possible to be able to use another char to mark the beginning and end of the string?

dont put "" for the alias will resolve this maybe

Code:

alias myformat es_format myvar "this is a %1" server_var(myvar2);

es_setinfo formatstring "Gravity is %1"

es_setinfo var 0

alias myformat es_format var server_var(formatstring) server_var(sv_gravity)

This still isn't going to be the best workaround for all situations. Still, this would be the sole exception to me going using Valve's automatic token parser. I really would like to keep the format string as a single token and quotes are the only way to be certain of that.

Well i've got it to work for now. But only when the es_Format string has no spaces. I want it for a line of commands not just one es_Format.
I've dont it like this.

alias sub1 es_format user "%1" server_var(user)
alias alias "sub1; es_tell server_var(user) asdfasdfasdf"

When i checked my alias's there are no quotes around %1.
