"Have you received any scripts from Windows users that show that problem? If not I will semd you one showing an error, just for example, at line number 476, when in fact the entire script has less than 230 lines." Go ahead and E-mail me that example. And tell me what text editor you're using. - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Dear Jeff, E-mailed the script, but I neglected to say that I am mainly using Scintilla. I also use EditPad Pro and others - but each of them understands Mac/Windows line endings. The problem is in the parser. Regards, mrb Posts: 40 | Registered: Sunday, October 5 2003 07:00 |

"E-mailed the script, but I neglected to say that I am mainly using Scintilla. I also use EditPad Pro and others - but each of them understands Mac/Windows line endings." Could you resend it? Never got it at my end. "The problem is in the parser." I feel that remains to be seen. That the reported line number is more than twice the length of the script makes me suspect that your text editor is doing something funky. I am not sure that I am going to be able to make BoA work with every text editor using every setting. - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Hokay. I just put in some code that watches for Windows style line endings and adjusts for them appropriately. I'll probably upgrade the debug-version BoA soon. However, this will do nothing for the weird situation where the given line number for the error is over twice the length of the file. I'll look at it, but that's something really odd. - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

It sounds as if that's what Jeff was planning to do when he first heard about the problem, and now people are trying to harangue him into finding increasingly perfect solutions. Honestly, I'm starting to see why he was reluctant to fix BoE. Even if we have good reasons for it, we can ask for a lot. The Blades community must be worse than Cordelia sometimes.

No, this all really was my bad. There was a genuine bug in there. Fix coming soon. It just took a little time to sort the bug from other issues, that's all. And I wanted to get this sorted out before I recommended text editors. - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |
