And my patches were wrong for many reasons: 1. on the server side, index files store bytes >= 0x7f as \xxx where xxx is the octal representation for the char, and not only these; 2. the client <-> server interaction is not without influence either on the presence of escape sequence or even quotes. I haven't quite yet grabbed the mechanics of it. Jean-Louis sure knows more about that. Simply, I made straight use of GLib's functions in the matter since they escape/compress everything, but that does not suit the way Amanda works. -- Francis Galiegue, fgalie...@gmail.com "It seems obvious [...] that at least some 'business intelligence' tools invest so much intelligence on the business side that they have nothing left for generating SQL queries" (Stéphane Faroult, in "The Art of SQL", ISBN 0-596-00894-5)
