*gripe gripe gripe* *moan groan*
ok, now that that's out.
why not just use a show_tilde() function in fread_string,
and use a hide_tilde() function in strip_string (or strip_cr() whatever)
(Warning: Mailer Code that may be incorrect in the loop sections)
__ db.c __
#define HIDDEN_TILDE '\a' // alarm bell (it should be allowed in ascii
files.
void hide_tilde(char *str)
{
for (;str && *str; str++)
if (*str == '~')
*str = HIDDEN_TILDE;
}
void show_tilde(char *str)
{
for (;str && *str; str++)
if (*str == HIDDEN_TILDE)
*str = '~';
}
that's my $((1 << 1)/100.0) worth
