Okay, quick question. (For somebody, I hope.) I have an object with an obj->name of something like ".32 automatic bullet". I found that trying to TAKE/GET anything with a name prefixed with a period doesn't work. So in other words, if I have two objects in a room, say ".32 automatic" and ".45 automatic," I would only be able to pick up the first one listed by using "automatic" as a keyphrase, since neither ".32" or ".45" will match up.
My actual question is of course why, or rather where, this happens. I traced the do_get function all the way to the "LOWER" macro utility and back, and I can't seem to find a place where having a period as the first character in a string would cause this to fail. I was a bit tired yesterday, but after looking on a fresh mind today I'm still out of ideas. Could someone point out what I'm overlooking so I can correct this? Thanks in advance. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
