How to Copy Ascii Art without Distortion

[HatchetMan302]

I was wondering if there is a way to successfully copy ascii art without out the spaces being distorted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to copy it into either Notepad or a Visual Studio 2013 .cpp file.

I am trying to use Ascii Art for the game I'm making.

you need to use a function that does not ignore whitespace, such as istream::get

Copy it from where? (into either Notepad or a Visual Studio...)
