Is there any reason that this:
should ever output this:Code:std::cout << "PRIVMSG " << CHANNEL << "a" << std::endl;
Where CHANNEL does equal #test.Code:aRIVMSG #test
I'm doing some socket programming, but I didn't think this is related to network programming.
Maybe it is something to do with byte order? Also if I just output CHANNEL by it's self, it works properly.
I'm stumped.
Is CHANNEL a regular std::string?
Yes, sorry, I forgot to mention that.
EDIT: I fixed it...Gosh, I always do this. As soon as I give up and ask for help, I figure it out. Anyway, it was because there was some strange character at the end of CHANNEL, I cut it off and it works fine now.

Start removing parts of that line until it stops failing. For instance, if you take the "a" part out, does it still fail? What if you remove CHANNEL? Etc. Whittle it down until it doesn't fail anymore then report your results.Originally Posted by IdioticCreation
Interesting. Possibly a char that has to do with right-to-left text.
Nope, it was a carriage return. Did you read channel from a file that was created in Windows, on Unix.
All the buzzt!

Actually I read it out of a socket. It was an IRC connection. I am on Unix, I don't know about the server that's hosting the IRC.
Maybe you read a '\r' character. This warps the cursor to the beginning of the line. Then it prints 'a'. Why there would be a '\r' in a channel name? No clue.
Probably because the IRC spec says so:
RC messages are always lines of characters terminated with a CR-LF (Carriage Return - Line Feed) pair
