Same answer. No punctuation. No other scripts (e.g. arabic). Just a sequence of 0-9. JSword uses it in its install manager to build a progress meter. BTW, In C the common routine is atoi, which stops on the first non-digit. So your example would come back as 1. > On Feb 23, 2019, at 2:24 PM,

JSword would. It uses a parser to convert it from a string to an integer and it doesn’t understand that format. > On Feb 23, 2019, at 10:00 AM, David Haslam wrote: > > Would SWORD baulk if the InstallSize key contained commas as thousands > separators? e.g. > > InstallSize=1,744.408 > >

Would SWORD baulk if the InstallSize key contained commas as thousands separators? e.g. InstallSize=1,744.408 David Sent from ProtonMail Mobile___ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org

[sword-devel] InstallSize entry in .conf file?

2010-10-18 Thread David Haslam
To specify this in the .conf file, how does one determine what the correct value is for InstallSize ? The wiki just says integer (indicating bytes) (which is rather vague IMHO). For a compressed Bible module, is this just the sum total of the file-sizes for the following files? nt.bzs,

Thanks Karl, Is this entry just FIO to advise prior to download, or does it make a real difference to module behaviour? Aside: The shell hackery might make good sense to my Unix friends, but to me as a Windows user, I'd have a hard job to decipher it. LOL. Does the size exclude the .conf file

Thanks Peter for bringing this up for attention. On #sword we discussed for a while the downside of adding a computed entry to the .conf files, tried to come up with possible alternatives, and decided it was easiest to just add it as officially supported in the .conf and if we ever get around
