Well, I see at least one other person had OLC in mind when they thought of
this. :)
I'll have to investigate the ~ terminator idea more (same one I thought of
as soon as I read the original post) because you could do '~xxx' in an
attempt to avoid the termination.
In the meantime, you can just make a kill_tilde() function. (Or get me to
finish the CircleMUD parser that will simply ignore errors and boot with
what it can manage to read.)
void kill_tilde(char *x)
{
int y;
for (y = 0; x[y]; y++)
if (x[y] == '~')
x[y] = ' ';
}
