Follow-up Comment #1, bug #51105 (project freeipmi): In principle a good idea. Although I think it should output something to warn the user.
if ($id_string =~ /[\x00-\x1F]/) { print "something error message" next; } Another alternate idea. Perhaps the junk characters could be converted into something readable? Just spaces? This would be great if the junk characters are at the end of the string (i.e. vendor didn't NUL terminate whatever they stuck in the firmware). _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51105> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-devel mailing list Freeipmi-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-devel
