plus sign giving me problems in convertchars
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2005
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 60891
interpreted = N
texte = I have a conversion db called noillegals.db that I run filenames (minus the extension) through when uploading images. It strips out !, @, +, $, spaces, periods, commas, etc by converting them to nothing. It works fine, except for a filename with a + in it. Is there anything special about a + sign that webcat interprets differently internally? Not only does it not strip the +, but when it finally writes the record to the DB, it changes the + to a space. So I get blahblah+blah.jpg written to disk, and blahblah blah.jpg written into the DB. Even after a good night's sleep, I'm stymied. noillegals.db from to
.. + = # etc. for the usual suspects [text]newfilename=[convertchars db=^noillegals.db][origfilename][/convertchars][/text] Then later in the page, [newfilename].jpg is used in a [shell] with Imagemagick to set the final file to disk, and in a [replace] to populate my DB. Convertchars is only used the one time in the beginning.
