[texhax] handling of dot and space in a string

[Goebel, Juergen]

Hi,

The structure in the example works fine, but only if there
is nor a dot neither a space in the string (dot: output is
interrupted, space: will be ignored).

What do I have to change to set also dot and spaces correctly?

TIA

Jürgen

\usepackage{tikz}

 \newlength{\jgTikZ <at> ycoord}%

 \setlength{\jgTikZ <at> ycoord}{0cm}%
 \newcommand\TikZsetcharacters[1]{%
