Complain about fax

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 23.11.2007, 02:34

Hi,

I just posted a fax which goes like this:

Buy GOLD 115+2Q !! silver 94+2Q !! I'll match the highest prices in Kapi. I need millions of them daily. Buy GOLD 115+2Q !! silver 94+2Q !!

but this is what appears in the office:

J.inc (info) 23.11.07 11:31(del)
Buy GOLD 115+2Q !! silver 94+2Q !! I\\

Finding it weird, i posted the fax a second time, and the result was the same. can the admin explain this please? Please sort out the problem. otherwise I would like to request for a refund on my coins please

Regards
Jin

That may actually be a more significant problem than you know. I'll pass it on and see. Follow up with a PM to me in a couple days please if you don't hear back before then.

To everyone, lets take from this a tip: don't use the apostrophe ' in your faxes please.

Using * in your fax also causes problems, I had to switch to the ^ instead, that one seems to work alright.

My bet is that they are using the apostrophe as a string delimiter. Thus, the parser thinks this is then end of your string. Many languages allow you to put two or three apostrophes in the string to get around this limitation. Try I''m or I'''m to see if it is the parser.

FYI - The developers can fix this by changing the default delimiter if their language/database combination supports this, or they can do a substitution whereby all single ' in a string are replaced by '''.

Wow, all about computing. Does using escape sequence, \' helps?
