      Hello Kees,              On Wednesday October 01 2014 16:22, you wrote to Code warriors:               KE> Should makenl_ng flag spaces in a node line as errors?              Definitely! According to FTS-5000 it IS an error.              5.3. Data lines       ----------------               A nodelist data line contains no less than seven (7) variable length        fields separated by commas (2Ch), defined below. Each data line is        a record/entry for an individual Fidonet node.               Printable ASCII characters except for commas and spaces are allowed        in all string fields unless specified otherwise. Underscores (5Fh)        are always used in place of spaces (20h).               KE> Should makenl_ng remove these spaces,              Or replace them with an underscore?               KE> probably a nono, as makenl should not apply automatic editing of        KE> nodelist lines..              Replacing with an underscore will most likely give the desired result in the       name fields. removing spaces will most likely result in line that parses. Or       it may produce another error.              Perhaps it is better to let a human judge. But it definitely should be flagged       as an error!                     Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20130111        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)    |
