The code still works. But the two lines do not become annotations as I
thought.

Yes.  And thats exactly the problem.

Have you already figured it out why ?   Stupid, aint it ?   Of you I mean. 
So simple, and even with everything infront of you *and* with it having been 
pointed out to you by me a few times you failed to spot it.

> Thanks for the help friend.

Someone who wields his religion as a shield so he doesn't have to reason or 
explain will /never/ be a friend of mine, regardles of which god he claims 
to worship.  And yes, /claim/, as you are not, in any way, living according 
to jesus guidings.   Far from it actually.    You're nothing more than, what 
we call here, a "mouth christian" - All talk, but no conviction.  None.

> Took you long enough to get around to it.

If I wouldn't have told it you would most likely /never/ have found it on 
your own.


And I'm afraid that you have thrown away all credit you might have had here. 
Stupid enough to refuse to listen /or/ test - even when *you got the problem 
on a silver platter* - and using religion as a justifies-all weapon/shield. 
And ofcourse some fast talk to explain you failing even your own blacklist 
promiss.

Face it kiddo, you blew it good.    Not that I have a problem with that, 
mind you. :-)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

That's a lot of venom for one technical error.

It's eating the newline as whitespace. I thought the format string would
prevent that. I'll look at it.

:-)  keep believing that kiddo.    Just deny everything else having ever 
happened.     It suits you.

You MORON.  Your own formatting makes use of it: you /specifically/ went for 
a "%*[ \t]" construction so you /wouldn't/ skip a newline there.   And now 
you claim not to have known ?    How dense can you be ...

Next time maybe try to actually /test/ what you wrote, and not just believe 
that it will work.  This is science kiddo, not some religion.   Keep the 
non-questioning deferrence for your church - or whatever you call your place 
of worship.

Than again, hearing you here there is a good chance you just copy-pasted 
that from somewhere, without really knowing what it does - and not caring 
either.

Kiddo, have a nice, long life.   Goodbye.

FYI, I'm non-religious.  I avoid the terms athiest and agnostic, as the
terms are biased, i.e., defined from a religious perspective.

It may be harder to be a programmer when religious, as truth and logic
are so important to the task.

I don't hold anything against the religious, with one exception, as
most of my friends and family are.  However, they claim that the Bible
is the word of God, usually absolute, yet they cherry-pick what they
want to believe from within it and twist what was said to fit their
Christian beliefs.

For example, you most likely believe you'll get into Heaven simply
because you accepted Jesus Christ as your savior, but that isn't what
the Bible actually says.  You only get to visit the Father for doing so:

John 14:6 KJV

And, I know your final destination isn't in Heaven, at least according
to Christianity:

Luke 20:35 KJV
Revelations 7:3-4 KJV
Revelations 14:1-4 KJV

I doubt that you - or just about anyone who has ever lived on the planet
Earth - meet all the requirements to make it into Heaven as in versus
cited above:

males not defiled by women, virgins
unmarried and not betrothed
only 144,000 make it into Heaven
name of the Father on their foreheads
children of Israel

Now, just what would a male "God and the Lamb" want with "the
firstfruits" ...  (Revelations 14:4)

You can check those verses for various Bible versions here:

If you want to learn about the more bizarre and disgusting aspects of
Christianity, this is a good place to start:

I'm not here to convert unbelievers, so I won't debate that further. But
a small mention of God or the Bible lets them self identify, which saves
time. I don't hate anyone, but why waste time making friends with the
dying and the dead.

As for the subject material, can you help with the format string? I'm
having trouble working around the problem Weiser identified. It doesn't
render the program useless, it just means you need to be careful that
your annotations don't inadvertently match a pattern of patch data.

It would be nice to fix, if possible. If not, the program still does its
job.

Eh, what Hell?  "As above, so below" is what some say ...  So,
apparently, there are two Heavens.  Ever heard a Satanist say the
Lord's Prayer?  Me neither, but it would clearly have the same words
but with different meanings.

"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's
still time to change the road you're on."  ... "And, she's buying a
stairway to Heaven.  There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be
sure, 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings."

Um, how did we get onto "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin?  This is
what happens when you guys start talking about religion.

Rod,

> Eh, what Hell?

To be honest, I have /no/ idea.    Its just what most, if not all christians 
are threatened with.    Funny that, as its led by one of gods own angels.  A 
supposedly fallen one, but an angel nonetheless.

There seem to be a few more hells though.  Like the one for babies that die 
before being baptized.   As without such a (placed by another human!) "seal 
of gods approval" humans are (supposedly) not allowed to enter heaven. 
/Regardless/ of if they are the most innocent of innocent.

There is one description of heaven and hell I rather like:

Heaven and hell are the same table, dished with the most delicious of foods. 
The guests are all seated.  For some reason they cannot lean forward and 
their elbows are locked in a straight position).    The food is always in 
easy reach though.   The "hell" people pick up the food, but are unable to 
feed themselves.    The "heaven" people pick up food, turn sideways and feed 
each other.

In other words: Its not the spot that makes heaven or hell, its the people. 
Rather profound I would say.

Some people even consider earth to be hell.   And they do have a bit of a 
point there ...

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

FYI, in Christianity, the Earth is Heaven, not that any Christian I've
ever met actually knows that.

Matthew 5:5 - meek shall inherit the Earth
Numbers 12:3 - Moses is the meekest of the meek
Psalm 76:9 - judgment saves the meek
Revelations 20-21 - Earth will be restored

Heaven is also described in Revelations, but it's a gaudy,
jewel-encrusted, abomination designed to tempt the greedy.

Than we have a difference in interpretation there I guess.  If I go for just 
those titles neither the second nor the third applies.   The first and the 
last could, and probably do, refer to adam & eves paradise.   If it actually 
existed that is, and is not, just like that specific hell place of fire and 
brimstone led by the devil and his minions, a human invention.

Also, as mentioned before, beeing expected to be "meek" is an invention of 
more recent decades (take the crusades for example, ore the even more recent 
excommunicating of different-thinkers), which makes me question that 
particular translation/interpretation ...

If that would be all that it would be I would not have a problem with it.

But the fact that lots of innocent people are victimized when temptations 
get a hold onto someone ....  What have those done to deserve to be used 
like that ?   Just to serve as examples to other greedy people that are 
still on the treshold ?   Thats a bit (understatement) dark.

I'm not an atheist (my believe in science does not allow me.  Proof of his 
existance might appear tomorrow), but over time I've become an agnost who 
leans against the bottom limit of it.

Religous people refer to it as "lost his faith".  To be honest, I don't know 
if I ever had one to begin with and was not just going thru the motions to 
humour my parents (not that you have, as a child, much to say in it).

One of the phrases in the Lord's Prayer sounds suspiciously like "as 
above so below" when literally translated. (It's the one traditionally 
rendered "on earth as it is in heaven")

-uso.

Thats is what people with an religious agenda always try to turn it into. 
The other way to read it is that you still get them (jesus was never picky 
about who he helped) but you will not recognise them as such.

... or they are not miracles at all to begin with, but the religious people 
with an agenda would like you to believe they are. :-)

Ross and Rudy have both been around here for a long time.

They may be prickly, but they're not trolls.  IRC, at one point, they
were both going to put each other in their own killfiles.

As you noted, not many people are here.  So, you may wish to apologize
if you want someone to talk to ...

Rod, you read the material and understood it. If other people are too
lazy to bother, I will not spend my time reading it aloud to them like
children.

a) Yes, but you can't assume the guys here are C programmers either.

They might be, or they might be x86 assembly guys, which is more likely
IMO in regards to the varieties of DOS.  Or, they could have experience
with both like me.  Of course, you might see a Pascal/Delphi guy every
now and again too.  (If anyone here is under age 35, maybe even 45,
they've probably never done any C or x86 assembly programming, i.e., all
internet/website or mobile/smartphone programming.)


b) As for C compilers, very few use Turbo C or Borland C anymore.

I've usually seen Turbo C and Borland C used for 16-bit C code, but
OpenWatcom can do that too.  I think these are the most common
(non-commercial).  Gnu GCC via Linux, DJGPP, MinGW, or Cygwin.  LCC via
LCC-Win32 or Pelles C.  OpenWatcom.  LLVM.  etc.

Personally, I'm using DJGPP (GCC) and OpenWatcom for home use on
MS-DOS, and GCC on Linux.  I've been considering checking out a newer
version of OpenWatcom for Linux, i.e., speed as my computer is aging.

Occasionally, someone will use (Bruce's) BCC or Ladsoft.  There are some
others like SmallerC or Small C or TCC etc that aren't frequently used.

I don't recall anyone threatening to put me in their killfile here.
I also haven't put anyone in my killfile in over 20 years, so I think
you may be thinking of someone else.

And to be honest, I am trolling the name changing guy.  While I do really
want him to put me in his killfile, I am of course also mocking him.
I always find it absurd when people think it's some sort of punishment.

No, you don't understand. My killfile gets rid of pests who try to waste
my time. There is no need to punish the dead.

He mentioned pamo.c in the first post in this thread, but he didn't
post it in this thread.

He posted pamo.c in "PC-MOS 2012 date bug fix" thread:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.msdos.programmer/_sIrf_P3k2c/MMiD6tzPBwAJ

In pamo.c, he's using this format string for scanf():

 char fmt[] = "%lx: %x %x%*[ \t]%1[^\n]";

It appears to conform to ANSI C.

In it he uses the [ conversion, along with field width specifications,
which allows him to specify specific characters to search for,
specifically any quantity of spaces and tabs, and then one or more
characters except a newline.  

This is probably far easier than using strtok().  However, portability
and compliance of string format specifications can be questionable,
especially so for low use formats such as this one.

As for whether it does what he claims, IDK.  I've serious issues with
ANSI C compliant format strings working correctly with different
compilers and for different environments.  I.e., it might or it might
not, even if correct C code.
