Possible Persistence File Bug

[zengei]

Has anyone noticed that if a ConfigNode value is written with two forward-slashes in a row, then the value that is read back is truncated? For example if you write the following value: hello//world, then when you read it back it's read as hello. As far as I can tell this only occurs with two forward slashes in a row, any number of single forward slashes is fine, i.e. h/e/l/l/o/w/o/r/l/d is read back correctly. Is this a known bug? Possibly some sort of expected behavior?

I only noticed this because I was saving Base64 encoded values, in which // can occur readily.

This is because // is considered a comment. Anything after // will be read as a comment, not a value.

[King Arthur]

I assume that // is the designation for a comment line in the SFS save files. Use of // for comments in code is very common and is also used in the part CFG files that KSP uses.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Ahh, that seems rather obvious in retrospect, thanks. I guess I'll 'escape', forward slashes with another character then, thanks.
