At that time I considered quotes and decided the best way to solve the problem was to work BACKWARDS on each log line. Once slot number is processed the rest of the line is player name, regardless of what flashy characters you find. Any other way and you can get problems with various characters in the name. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
