[Moin-user] Java exception when attempt to edit

[Garland, Tony]

Thanks Brandon,

I guess the twikidraw.jar file needs to be built with an updated
version of StorableOutput:

|In CH.ifa.draw.util.StorableOutput, mod the following method (around line
#98 in my version):
|
|    public void writeString(String s) {
|        fStream.print('"');
|        for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
|            char c = s.charAt(i);
|            switch(c) {
|                case '\r': break; // suppress the \r being written out
|                case '\n': fStream.print('\\'); fStream.print('n'); break;
|
|I used the new switch case to suppress the \r case which was stuffing up my
files. There's probably a more elegant and |general solution out there!

It appears the latest twikidraw.jar file from twiki.org doesn't address this
issue.
