Sending text with preceding zeros ... not so much.
|
On one of the muds I play on, my password begins with two zeros.
When I type the password, CMUD only sends everything after the zeros.
For example, I type "00password" and it sends "password"
Is there a way to turn this off? Or is it not an option? :)
++ EDIT ++
Hmmm... turns out it *was* an option. I had to deselect Options -> Parse.
Okay, problem fixed. So, nevermind. |

This is still a bug, and I verified it and added it to the bug list.
Actually, on my test, when I entered
00test
on the command line, it sent
0test
so it seems to condense multiple zeros to a single zero in my testing. The Option/Parse option shouldn't need to be turned off for this to work correctly which is why it's a bug. |

Well, this turned out to be interesting. What was happening when 00password was entered is that it was being split into the following code:
| Code: |
INT 0
STR "password"
CONCAT |
So, in fact, any leading zeros were going to get stripped. Entering "0123test" would just send "123test".
To fix this, I modified the parser so that after parsing a number, if it finds an alphabetic character next, then it goes back and treats the whole thing as a string instead. So now, in 1.07, when you enter "00password" it generates the proper code:
There was only one remaining potential problem. If you entered just a number with leading zeros, like "0123" then it still just sent "123" to the MUD. This is because it was parsing this as an integer and not a string. So, I had to add some additional code to check for leading zeros. Now, in 1.07, when you enter "0123" it will properly send "0123" to the MUD.
So, thanks for reporting this. It uncovered some interesting problems in the parser. |
