Re: [Plplot-general] cmap0file format

[Arjen M. <arj...@de...>]

Hi Alan,

when I developed this patch, based on the first patch by Thorsten,
I tested it with .pal files I had edited:
- Windows format (carriage-return-line-feed endings)
- Trailing blanks and a very long line with text beyond the 30th column
- Invalid hex numbers
- Even files without an end-of-line marker for the last line (on Windows
   this is pitifully common, it seems the end-of-line marker is regarded
   as a line-separator)

With all these variations the reading routines did their work fine.
I will not claim that all possible issues have been solved with this
code, but the routines appear quite robust.

Regards,

Arjen

PS On Windows the C runtime library is supposed to convert \r\n in a
    file to \n in the string. A problem might appear on Linux, where this
    is not the case, but that ought to be taken care of now.
