snippets db

[czerny]

Hi,

I tryed to store this little function in the snippets db, but the I get an error message saying that this is not possible. What I am doing wrong?

int chomp(char *s)
{
   char *p = strchr(s, '\n');
   if ( p != NULL ) {
       *p = '\0';
       return 1;
     }
     return 0;
}

Ok... how did you try to do it?

Tools -> Customize -> snippets -> select type -> new snippet -> type or paste into dialog.

[czerny]

exactly!

[CommonTater]

exactly!

Ummmm.... meaning what? 

Did my suggestion work... or is that the one that failed?

[czerny]

This was the way that didn't work!

Have you tryed to do the same?

Yep, it worked for me  on ver 6.50 rc4 x64 .... 
But I typed my test in by hand...

EDIT:
Hrrrmmmm... copy and paste from outside the IDE doesn't seem to be working
but copy and paste from an IDE source window to the snippet does.

Kinda odd....

I (6.50 rc4 x86) tried it also (with different modifications) and I think only Pelle knows why you can't store it.

PS: If you remove the lines with "*p =" you can store it (but I think this will not help you).

Maybe problem with ' Single quote.
Use two single quotes for one single quote.

Code Select Expand

int chomp(char *s)
{
   char *p = strchr(s, ''\n'');
   if ( p != NULL ) {
       *p = ''\0'';
       return 1;
     }
     return 0;
}

I don't think the snippets window does syntax checking...

What I was wondering is if it was a clipboard format problem...
Text pushed to the clipboard as ASCII where the IDE is internally unicode ...

[czerny]

Hallo,

it looks as if the SQLite db does refuse the snipped because the single quotes are not escaped.

Hmmm... Ok, I took your sample code and copied it... I could paste it into the source editor but not the snippets window... if I copied it from the source editor, it pasted into the snippets window just fine...

[czerny]

Thats not the point!

Can you save it than?

When I copy from the Source editor, yes it saves.
When I copy from the first message, no it does not save.

I believe you've found a bug and you should report it as such in the appropriate forum

This is definitivly not the case with my version (6.50.8 R4 32 bit).
I can't save it neither from notepad nor from the ide copyed.
The only way I can save it is to double the single quotes.
