Strings are limited in size? set doesn't work on long string

2004-10-25T11:41:22-04:00

I'm not sure about other ircds, but IRCnet version limit maximum characters, which can be send to server in one line to 480.

I guess that it the problem... i changed my code to this:

Code:

  putserv "NOTICE $nick : Test..."  set l 500  set i 0  set s ""  while { $i < $l } {    append s a    incr i  }  set dimension [string length $s]  putserv "NOTICE $nick : $dimension"  putserv "NOTICE $nick : $s"

And it sent two NOTICES:

Test...
500

I guess it's solved, thanks

correction, this works with tclsh

Code:

  set l 1000  set i 0  set s ""  while { $i < $l } {    append s a    incr i  }  puts $s  puts [string length $s]

This doesn't work with windrop:

Code:

 set l 500  set i 0  set s ""  while { $i < $l } {    append s a    incr i  }  putserv "NOTICE $nick : $s"

So it must be a windrop problem, or a cygwin problem, any thoughts?

Works for me like this:

Code:

    set l 100  set i 0   set s ""  while { $i < $l } {    append s a    incr i  }  puts $s  puts [string length $s]

if do this doesn't work

Code:

    set l 1000  set i 0   set s ""  while { $i < $l } {    append s a    incr i  }  puts $s  puts [string length $s]

It seams that strings have a limit
i am using Activetcl 8.4.7 for Windows and Windrop (eggdrop for windows)

works for me

Code:

proc longstring l {  set i 0 ; set s ""  while { $i < $l } {    append s a    incr i  }  puts $s  puts [string length $s]}

% longstring 1000
"a x 1000"
1000
%

Hi,

I need to set a variable with an SQL statement (Very long one) to execute in MySQL but it seams that long strings doesn't work.

Even this doesnt work:

set testing "(Imagine that this string is 500 chars in length)"

What's the deal, is there any kind of limitation in string length?
