bug in TIP library

Post by Alex Gustow »

Sorry, Roberto - it's not a MiniGUI bug. But can you please send it to "Harbour Bugreport"?

TIP library
MAIL.PRG (my version: 16.10.2009 06:59)

METHOD FromString( cMail, cBoundary, nPos ) CLASS TipMail

Line 391

Code: Select all

nLinePos := hb_At( e"\r\n", cMail, nPos )
It produces runtime error (of course - error exists in 1st parameter! it must be - I think - simple "\r\n")

For example of "correct" hb_At() calling - line 403:

Code: Select all

nSplitPos := hb_At( ":", cMail, nPos )
10 minutes later...

Right now I went to Harbour CVS on Sourceforge.
source\tip\mail.prg
Revision 1.8 - (download) (annotate)

Here - this bug in line 404, and "correct calling of hb_At() at line 417.

Thanks Alex. I'll do it ASAP.

Roberto, hi again!

I was stupid :) when I wrote previous post (about "error! of course!..").

Only now I looked at (x)Harbour.chm (help; Grigory bundled it into HMG Ext. package - I don't know is it exists into HMG Original package), to "Overview" - "Build-in data types" and read text:

Code: Select all

Literal (static) representation of scalar types:
...
String "String", 'String', [String], or E"String\n"
Uuuumm... :( It's not a really bug - but I'm a fool :(

BTW, Grigory wrote (in Russian Clipper/Harbour/GUI forum) that all methods from TIP.LIB works correctly - if you use xHarbour...

Now I try to understand differences between "how it works" (methods etc. from TIP.LIB) with Harbour and with xHarbour. I wann't migrate from Harbour to xHarbour only for creating one application... I try to understand "what I need to correct into my code to have app with mail-related functions using Harbour (nor xHarbour)?"... Maybe results of my researches will be useful for community.

P.S. I registered today on XHDN (I thought I can find any information about TIP.LIB). I looked to Online Reference... No descriptions (for classes from TIP.LIB), no examples - only list of properties and methods for each class and nothing more... :( So I decide to write my "TIP Library Manual" ASAP. :)

Good decision. :) I am awaiting for the same.
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Ok.

Just for curiosity... what the 'E' mean?
Regards/Saludos,

Roberto

Look at this (borrowed from MAIL.PRG in HBTIP sources you posted here few days ago - do you remember?):

Code: Select all

( from "METHOD ToString()" )
   // Begin output the fields
   // Presenting them in a "well-known" order
   IF "Return-Path" $ ::hHeaders
      cRet += "Return-Path: " + ::hHeaders[ "Return-Path" ] + e"\r\n"
   ENDIF
I think - it's for (x)Harbour compatability with C syntax (or for C-programmers, who want to write on (x)Harbour easier): e"\r\n" equal chr(13)+chr(10) . I think so... but maybe I'm stupid again :)

I guess that you are right (on the first thing :) ). Perhaps the 'e' stands for 'escape sequence' to use c-style strings.

Maybe. I don't know (I'm not a good C-man; most likely - "zero" one :) ). But now I know: it works. And now I understand "what it means". :)

I enlarged my knowledge about mail manipulating last 2 days. Report & manual coming soon...

And - right now Masha stays near me (after visiting WC :) ) and said: "Hi Roberto and all here!" :)

It's Masha!
Hello everybody!!! ;-> Now I'm sitting at the father's comp and I'm going to sleep so good night to you, best wishes, etc.! ;-> (I'm not already here, so if you want to ansver me, I'll read it only tomorrow!)

It's Alex again. Uffffffff...
SHE TURNED ME OFF MY CHAIR AT THE COMP!!! :0 :) :)

Sorry for little offtopic :)
