Unwanted spaces

[DrMDJ]

In the thread here I ran across a situation where it seems an unwanted space gets inserted in a string of text. For example, if I have the string HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ what you will see here is that a space has been inserted (erroneously) in the string "CurrentVersion".

Would like this added to the list of reported bugs.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\MSCONFIG.EXE

Shucks. This made it worse.

The old software used to break after 50 characters, but it then used to start on a new line at least it now stays on the same line.

I wonder if you use the Code tags:

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\

EDIT: That's even worse

Never noticed the 50 character break before. Then if it is not a bug per se it certainly is something to be aware of with things like reg keys (where an unwanted space can create a problem).

Hmm I had opened the thread but hadn't read it.

By the time I posted, Steve R Jones had done the CODE thing and almost had the same response verbatim, spooky.

I think it's a security feature, so no one can embed a script to affect someone's registry into the post. On webdeveloper.com, you can't type javascript in a function call without a space turning up in the actual post.

Piece of cake.
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\
Although it does require a work around as suggested in the earlier post http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...465#post935465.

Piece of cake eh? Have look at you post. There still is the space. No problem, ya simply had an actual space in there.

Point is though, we need to be aware of such things when posting.

Space? What space? The one between Current and Version? I just put the tags around Current. I will now put them around "CurrentVersion".
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
