But that was only meant as one example. File names are another potential problem (Munich_tourists.jpg or skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb) and file names and directory names in website addresses are another. But as long as you can stop and resume, or skip as you now can, it's a nonissue.A second problem involves email addresses and the like that include underscores:mailto:this_user@xxxxxxxxThese will always be correct, and if included in an email will alwaysthrow the count of "_" characters off, forcing the program to abort.As do my email addresses. But an email address is always going to have an "@" within not many characters of the underscore, so that's a clear giveaway, in terms of flagging an exception. Paul |
