[2.11] Pasting Settings with some characters
|
It would seem there is some horrible, ludicrous, obnoxious, vile, yucky letter replacement thing that goes on when pasting settings in to the PE. So far I have noted: ≥ becomes =; √, v; ⁿ, n; other like ÷ and ± just fail and nothing gets pasted after it thinks for a while.
1. Launch CMud
2. Close Sessions window (ESC)
3. Open the Package Editor (CTRL-G)
4. Click in the tree panel of the PE
5. Paste (CTRL-V)
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<cmud>
<func name="delset">
<value>$llist=%concat("÷",%replace($list,"|","÷÷"),"÷")
$lpat=%concat("(÷",%replace($set,"|","÷|÷"),"÷)")
$lret=%leftback(%right(%subregex($llist,$lpat,""),1),1)
#RETURN %replace($lret,"÷÷","|")</value>
<arglist>$set,$list</arglist>
</func>
<func name="issubset" type="Integer">
<value>$llist=%concat("÷",%replace(%dups($list),"|","÷÷"),"÷")
$lpat=%concat("÷",%replace($set,"|","÷|÷"),"÷")
#IF ($exact) {
$lpat=%concat("(?:(?:",$lpat,")(?:(?!",$lpat,")÷.*?÷)*){",%numitems($lpat),"}")
} {
$lpat=%concat("(?:",$lpat,")")
}
#RETURN %regex($llist,$lpat)</value>
<arglist>$set,$list,$exact</arglist>
</func>
<func name="subset" type="StringList">
<value>$lret=""
#FORALL $set {
#IF (%ismember(%i,$list)) {#ADDITEM $lret {%i}}
}
#RETURN $lret</value>
<arglist>$set,$list</arglist>
</func>
</cmud>

What keyboard and language is your computer using? (Might be relevant.)

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I got nothing when I do the paste in both CMUD and Pro.

You are not doing anything wrong Tech, the ÷'s cause the whole paste to fail in CMud. I personally find that much worse then having some characters get changed.

This is slightly off-topic, but in 2.11 I'm unable to paste anything in the xml tab. To be more correct, I can paste some text in xml, but if I close-open the editor or click Save Settings - everything gone and previous text get restored. I just thought that these issues may be related...

Arde, If you search my posts I was having a similar problem a few versions back. My issue was that I had some actual special characters in a few of my scripts.
After I removed the offending values and replaced them with things like %e and %char(11) xml started working for me again. |

No I have a different problem. I can't paste even the xml for an empty GUI-generated alias. In other words, the editor does not save any single character been entered in xml tab, while accepting data from other tabs. Both in my and in untitled session.

Sorry for drag this thread off. I tried to test your script, but... |

XML can be *very* picky about accepting non-standard ascii characters. I think I need to change the encoding value being used, or else there is a bug in the TurboPower XMLPartner code when dealing with UTF-8 characters. But I'll look into this and see if I can get it to work.

OK, the problem with this is that the ÷ character is not a valid UTF-8 character. If I change the first line to
| Code: |
| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> |
Then it works. So I'm tempted to change the XML export to use ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8.
But my question is how did you get this XML in the first place? When CMUD exports this, it puts the character within a CDATA field, and that should be fine. Or else it converts the ÷ to a '& divide;' entity. So I'm not sure how CMUD would have generated this XML in the first place. |

Zugg, what exactly did you change the first line to?

To get that XML I selected the 3 functions in the tree, then right-clicked and did copy. I then pasted the XML into notepad to change the - character to something more unique. Once done editting I copied then tried to paste the finished functions into another package (left-click in tree panel, CTRL-V) and found it didn't work. I played around with the characters some to find a few of the various conversion, then put it up as a bug report.
I never did anything with XML tab, that was someone else mentioning it. Also I wan not about to muck around replacing them one character at a time. |

OK, that explains it then. You changed the - character to a character that isn't supported by the UTF-8 encoding.

The first line looks like this in v2.13:
| Code: |
| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> |
That's the encoding that supports the character that Vijilante was inserting via Notepad. |

OK, I updated the XML tag in the posts above. So they should show up properly now.
