Carriage return characters in command strings

[Mark F]

I have discovered a small problem. :smile:

I have an updated plugin just about ready. One of the fields on this plugin's interface allows for multiple lines of text to be entered. These lines are delimited with carriage return <CR> characters. During testing this past weekend, I found that if I place a <CR> in a command's string variable (svalue1 or svalue2), the resulting saved .gir file is no longer "loadable" by Girder.

My plan for getting around this limitation is to transpose the <CR> character to and from a different value when saving and displaying the text.

A few questions:
What non-displayable character should I use to represent <CR>?
Is there any chance Girder could do this for me when saving and loading the .gir file?
How are the beaches of Southern California for researching Physics? :smile:

Hi Mark,

Girder really should escape the strings in the commands. Maybe the C convention would be good : <cr> = n ...

:grin: Santa Barbara :grin: seems to be a good place to do research, especially the beach, the natural habitat of the plasma.
