Re: [PD] Bug in pool?

Hallo, Thomas Grill hat gesagt: // Thomas Grill wrote:

thanks for your report. It seems the only (cheap) way of storing arbitrary symbols is to escape them with " ". I've done so now - will be mirrored to the SF cvs shortly.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Will this still allow my old preset files, which contain symbols like "10x20x40", to be loaded correctly?

I was researching the problem a bit in the meantime, and maybe "strtof" can help. This is what I have so far:

// save character and set delimiter

float fres;
char *endp;

// see if it's a float
fres = strtof(tmp,&endp);

if (endp or (endp == tmp)) { 
    // it's a symbol:
    post("end: %s", endp);
    post("tmp: %s", tmp);
    if(a) flext::SetString(*a,tmp);
}
else {
    if(a) {
        int ires = (int)fres; // try a cast
        if(fres == ires)
            flext::SetInt(*a,ires);
        else
            flext::SetFloat(*a,fres);
    }
}

This works correctly for symbols like "set a 10xxx", the only problem is, that now "set a 10" will result in "symbol 10" as result of "get a" after loading in the savefile again.
