variantconfig bug: If a control name has EOL character, read panel from INI will fail

[Jim K. <ji...@ji...>]

Hello All,

Philippe submitted the bug shown in the attached email.  It is a problem
with variantconfig that effects control names with EOL characters in =
their
names.  Philippe suggests a fix by converting EOL characters to a space. =
 I
think this is a good fix.  This will cause the names to appear as a =
single
line in the INI file.  The only possible problem is that there could be =
a
name collision with a control that has the same name.  However, LabVIEW =
also
allows controls with the same name so this problem already exists.  =
Hmmm,
sounds like we need some error handling... any thoughts?  What =
preconditions
should we be testing for?

- No two controls can have the same names tested after converting all
illegal names to legitimate names (like converting EOLs in control names =
to
spaces.)

Any others?

-Jim

Summary: If a control name is on 2 line, read panel from INI will fai

Initial Comment:
If a control name is on 2 line such as
"my control
name"
read panel from INI will fail because the controls was
saved as two different keys on two different lines

Possible Fix: when saving key name, scan string for end
of line or line feed or carriage return and replace it
by a space.
The same thing is required when getting the name of the
control from the variant
