Query about "setudef str"

[Dataforce]

Is there a limit to the length of a string when storing it in a udef-str ?

The strings seem to be randomly truncated when i rehash the bot. (its storing a 400 char long encrypted string)

[demond]

nope, there's no limit

my guess is your encrypted udef string contains ^Z character, which is EOF (end-of-file) terminator for the Tcl_EvalFile() function that eggdrop uses to read and interpret a Tcl script (the chanfile is actually a script, just like eggdrop.conf)

At first I thought the same, so i recoded the encryption i use, and now when i store this:

bcibegceidbbbehbpagbkaoedamacbgbpboemalebbfbibkfhecaeanalbhanah
ajamekbpbdaggkbagpehchffacbhbmboedafcbbdagaaakekabaceldgagfhbc

pboemalebbfbibkfhecaeanalbhanahajamekbpbmadbpajagalfmbkchapak

after rehashing, it now only has this:

bcibegceidbbbehbpagbkaoedamacbgbpboemalebbfbibkfhecaeanalbhanah
ajamekbpbdaggkbagpehchffacbhbmboedafcbbdagaaakekabaceldgagfhbc
bcengiabceecdkakagageeehaabkaefcbefgejagakbhehbgenajaefdfbajacbd
abbdajegegbhalbafbagefbhalbdabbiagakagaafabhamalaefbenaiadanbnap
aeecekacace

(all on one line, i split it up so as not to mess up the layout)


Interestingly, the channels file itself has the full string, but when using channel get , it only returns the truncated string

[demond]

well then it might have something to do with truncating parameters of [channel add]; barring a patch in Tcl itself, you can't do anything about it

I'd recommend redesigning your script in such way it no longer requires such lengthy udefs

Strangely:

Other names seem to work fine, and renameing the udef made it work :/
