    Not to worry... we all make mistakes. The real trick is to learn from them.

    No its NOT necessary but the space between the %c and %c is necessary according to the file format Robbie provided in his first message.

    Excuse me... I actually tested the code here... trust me it IS necessary otherwise it would convert errors in the file leading to possible data corruption...

    Code:
    b A 1
    b B 4
    B b 1
    B C 2
    B C 3
    W A 3
    w A1 4    <--- should cause a loop exit!
    W B 3 
    W B 2

    works fine for me without the space.

    Yes... with a perfect file... what part of "errors in the file" do you not understand?

    You are aware that your output is flawed? There is no "w A 1" line in the input.

    Yeah there is... in the file he *actually* used... as opposed to the flawed one I suggested he test.

    He linked it at the top of his message...

    Oh, I assumed that was just a dump of the output.
    If that actually was the input then that's quite a lame attempt to "prove" someone wrong.

    So your point is that file corruption and/or input mistakes never happen so all input validation and error checking is basically useless?

    I hate being rude.....but...........Are u really a nut??? When did i say or imply in anyway that error checking(s) are useless?! And, I'm unlike u, trying to prove someone wrong or prove myself superior than someone!! I have no such intentions. I'm here to discuss and enhance my knowledge and learn more. And in doing so, if can add value to the forum.
    Check the following......

    But, once again... had you taken 5 minutes and read the documentation, you would have known that.
