[Never mind] LineEdit : special characters ?

siska

I'm currently working on a 'save game' menu. I'm using a LineEdit node for user input (a short descriptive phrase that will later be shown in the 'load game' menu).

Problem : what if someone types something like this :

<br>The user input is 'escaped' before it is written to file : save_game_title.json_escape()

<br>The problem is in displaying the text in the load menu screen :

Approach 1 : I don't really care what the user types ---> if I 'unescape' the text before display, it is interpretated (eg. \n becomes a newline character) : ---> if I display 'as is', it is still escaped (of course)

So, is there a way to just -display- the characters (without interpreting them, eg. convert \n into a newline) ?

<br>Approach 2 : Of course, I could also limit input to Latin alphanumeric chars (regex) ... but I prefer not to if I can get the above working.

Any ideas ?

Update : I must have a gremlin in my computer. This LineEdit thing has been bugging me for a week, and now, suddenly, without doing anything ... everything works as it should ?! :/

Those are the worst kind of bugs. Hope it doesn't come back.

If you are following best practices and using version control, you could perhaps check a diff to figure the difference out.

Unless it's a heisenbug...

=) Let's hope not !

And yes, I'm using git. But the code just couldn't be simpler. Don't know what happened. Programming, eh ?!
