Quoting "Patrick M. O'Laughlin" <pmolaughlin@HOME.COM>: > > How do you use special characters, like '%' in CircleMUD? > > Use: \% Actually, I believe he's talking about using % in a string via sprintf(), which isn't really CircleMUD specific, but neither is usage of % in general, unless he's added some color snippet that uses it as the indicator for color. Anyway, if you're in a situation where you're trying to do this: sprintf(buf, "100%"); (ignoring the fact that you wouldn't do that like so), you will want to simply double the % sign: sprintf(buf, "100%%"); A C issue, or a printf issue. An obligatory 'buy a C book' statement goes here, if I've correctly diagnosed the issue. Also note that you should've probably provided an example of where you were running into the problem.
