  • TIC and "Replaces" keyword with long filenames

    From Björn Wiberg@2:201/137 to g00r00 on Sat Jan 22 10:37:16 2022
    Hello g00r00!

    I just wanted to check with you how/if mutil FileToss handles long filenames/filenames with spaces in "Replaces" in TICs?

    Given a TIC containing (among other things):

    File MyGUI137.zip
    Replaces MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip

    ...my *previous* A48 prealpha logged this when processing the TIC:

    --------------------- MUTIL v1.12 A48 2022/01/11 Fri, Jan 21 2022 (loglevel 3) /../
    + 2022-01-21 21:18:09 Process: Toss FDN/TIC Files

    /../
    + 2022-01-21 21:18:13 File MyGUI137.zip Area FSX_MUTL From 21:1/100
    - 2022-01-21 21:18:13 Replace "MyGUI"
    + 2022-01-21 21:18:13 Added to "FSX_MUTL: Mystic BBS Utils, Mods, Etc." /../

    Of course it did not succeed in removing the file "MyGUI" (cut off at the space and onward). :-D

    Looking at FTS-5006.001 (http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5006.001), it appears that there are no strict rules regarding lengths/characters for the "Replaces" keyword.

    Nevertheless, I wanted to mention this, in case you think it would be something that could/should be handled differently in in future versions of mutil FileToss. (I'm not sure how other TIC processors deal with long filenames or filenames containing spaces or other special characters.)

    P.S. You did a great job with the BINKP Auto option for filename escaping, and the discussions got a happy ending, too, which is great! Keep up the good work! D.S.

    Best regards
    Bj”rn

    Its supposed work but you've found a bug :)

    I'll have this fixed up in the next build! Thank you!

    Thanks a lot! It is much appreciated (although filenames with spaces perhaps aren't that common in file echos).
