Not really sure if this how really the LINE Variable behaves or a bug, but if there are spaces at the beginning of the text it entirely skips it and goes for the next text no matter how many spaces before the text is


for example like this text...

Code:

          (This is a test)

if i do this...

Code:

log MEMORY_FILE 0 0
get TEXT LINE

put TEXT LINE MEMORY_FILE
get SIZE ASIZE MEMORY_FILE
log 000.txt 0 SIZE MEMORY_FILE

the output will be just

Code:

(This is a test)

and the 10 spaces before the "(This is a test)" is skipped, is this how really the LINE variable works? can't find anything in the read me regarding it. it works fine with Get TEXT string, though I kinda need its delimiting of 0x00, 0x0a and 0x0d, since i have no idea how long each text will be and I want to cut every line break. If this is how it works then no problem, I bet there are lots of ways to get around it.


BTW testes on 0.10.0 and 0.9.2

Thanks in advance.

It's the intended behavior.
The "line" type automatically removes spaces and tabs from the beginning and end of the string (lines 3246 and 3279 of current file.c):

If you want to preserve the spaces you can try with this alternative solution, but it will keep the carriage return ('\r') in it:
getct VAR string '\n'

Thanks!

the getct VAR string '\n' maybe perfect for my needs
