If you want to interpret something, you need rules, in the real life and also in the computer world. If you cannot count on rules, you cannot interpret it with a program. The rule of a player information was:
"name<id><steamid><team>" If Valve breaks this rule, you have to adjust, but there are possibilties were you cannot adjust, because when everything is allowed, there are no more rules. No rules, no way to interpret. > So it's valves fault, but writing a parser that doesn't take into > account all possible input isn't acceptable just because 'valve > shouldn't have allowed this'. > > So yes, please institute escaping or filtering for player names, but > your log parsers still are not doing their jobs properly. > > - Neph > > _______________________________________________ > 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
