I just wrote up a quick function that ices all the \r characters from a string before I write it to the file. If you have trouble writing it, I'll send mine, but it isn't all that difficult. BTW. I don't know how the other OLCs handle this, but I also wax all the ~ characters as well except the last one of the string. Since fread_string uses this as an end-of-string marker when it's loading up, it's nice to only have on at the end of the string :) Actually, I change the tilda to a -, so in case the tilda is part of an ascii graphic sign or something, it doesn't mess it up too bad. jtrhone aka vall RoA +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
