Escaping

[Deep Toaster]

The way OmnomIRC escapes chars is kinda weird: special chars that SpyBot posts get escaped (such as "Online Lua > TI converter"), which implies that it got escaped twice, but anyone can just type something like & into IRC and it doesn't get escaped at all

I'M not sure what you mean by escaped?

[Munchor]

I don't get the escaped but I get the error, and the problem to me is in IRC Clients, cos OmnomIRC handles it fine.

[DJ Omnimaga]

I think Netham45 logs are set with a different charset. THe French logs are all messed up.

Escaping a special char means replacing it with something that's more acceptable (like "\t" instead of the tab character in many languages, or "&lt;" instead of < in HTML).

[Netham45]

That's just spybot that does that.

Also, yea, mIRC logging only supports ascii, I'm trying to find a way to get unicode/utf-8 easially.

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah ok. Hopefully you can find a solution for the french channel.

I think I'm going to end up writing my own logger. =/

[DJ Omnimaga]

Ah ok, just make sure it's not too demanding on your bandwidth or server load. X.x

Using the same one as in the English version isn't working? I don't know how it was made, but it sounds strange.

It has the same problem in both channels, but it's more obvious in -fr because there are more special chars to deal with.

[Netham45]

Yup. Basically, mIRC's logger doesn't do multibyte characters at all.

[Deep Toaster]

Er, why does " get converted to &quot; then?
