copy and paste
« on: Jun 12th, 2003, 3:25am »

I poked around and didn't see this mentioned elsewhere.
 
When I copy code from this forum using Safari (in particular...havent tried copying from other sources (Games/asteroids was the one I just retried)) and paste it into P5 v55 on Mac OSX (in particular... havent tried on my PC yet), I get a compile error.
 
unexpected char " "
 
and it highlights the last line in the code.  I never see the " " so I can't delete it.  I tried deleting the last line and retyping it, but it still gives the error.
 
Anyone else confirm this?
 
Could very well be the Safari browser.

Yeah I have the same problem in IE and Safari. The text won't even select in IE.

just tacked in a fix for this for rev 64, which will be online in about an hour.  
 
the problem was that safari sends   as a non-breaking space char, which is a special unicode character that looks the same but causes headaches for programs.  
 
i added a little code that replaces the nbsp with a regular space whenever you paste code into the environment.
