[13:16:17] <janrinok> takyon: I've left a comment re the warning window. We often have to go back and edit stories (updates or spelling mistakes) that are pointed out in the comments to a story.

[15:25:55] <cmn32480> coffee++
[15:25:55] <Bender> karma - coffee: 15
[15:37:51] <cmn32480> janrinok !!
[17:11:30] <takyon> the fix is in a reply janrinok
[17:46:45] <janrinok> takyon: Thx, I had already done that :)
[17:46:54] <janrinok> cmn32480: !!
[17:47:51] <takyon> one sec
[17:48:01] <cmn32480> janrinok !!
[17:48:27] <janrinok> how's your weekend now that you are home?
[17:48:34] <cmn32480> working
[17:48:39] <janrinok> sh!t
[17:48:40] <cmn32480> trying to get this project finished
[17:48:50] <cmn32480> learning sqlcommand on the fly
[17:48:54] <cmn32480> sqlcmd
[17:49:11] <cmn32480> turns out what - you use on the keyboard makes a major difference
[17:49:19] <cmn32480> what "-"
[17:49:28] <janrinok> true
[17:49:41] <cmn32480> the one on the number pad is different than the one on the number line
[17:49:56] <janrinok> yep
[17:49:58] <cmn32480> and windows ins't samrt enough to see that the are the same freaking character
[17:50:14] <cmn32480> so that took a couple hours to figure out
[17:50:15] <janrinok> well, they are not, one is a hyphen and the other is a minus
[17:50:31] <cmn32480> funny... they look the same to me!
[17:50:39] <janrinok> and to me too...
[17:55:00] <takyon> what the fuck
[17:55:07] <janrinok> how's the family now that you have caught up with them?
[17:55:07] <takyon> the number pad - is different than - ?
[17:55:17] <cmn32480> in ascii, yes
[17:55:31] <janrinok> it depends on how the kbd decodes them - in some languages yes
[17:55:37] <takyon> i can't believe I haven't noticed that in the last many years
[17:55:48] <cmn32480> and running a sqlcmd string to export a table to a text file fails in a horrible scraming death if you use the one on the number pad
[17:55:58] <takyon> i have to test this
[17:56:02] <janrinok> it might not be on your kbd
[17:56:22] <takyon> regular dash: \u002D numpad: \u002D
[17:56:24] <takyon> phew
[17:56:37] <janrinok> my English kbd gives the same char, my French kbd gives different chars.
[17:56:49] <cmn32480> what'd you use to see the ascii takyon?
[17:57:00] <takyon> http://0xcc.net
[17:57:03] <exec> └─ 13Text Escaping and Unescaping in JavaScript
[17:57:07] <takyon> this is one of my favorite utilities of all time
[17:57:20] <cmn32480> mine comes up the same as well
[17:57:23] <takyon> I have it hard saved to my hard drive in case it ever disappears
[17:57:50] <cmn32480> but windows saw them as different in the command string
[17:58:26] <takyon> I guess it could intercept the key stroke and use a different character
[17:58:37] <takyon> I'm just glad my ~ key works
[17:58:51] <cmn32480> i have no idea.. but that screwed me for a couple hours trying to find the solution
[18:11:49] <takyon> later
[18:20:46] <cmn32480> janrinok - the family is good. kids want attention.. and I am unable to give it die to this stupid job
[18:21:32] <cmn32480> but I think I have the majority set right
[18:21:48] <cmn32480> only thign left is to get the DB schema approval from the customer
[18:40:25] <janrinok> sry - I had a phone call. Not a lot that I can do to help. If you get a free minute (laughs out loud uncontrollably) can we switch to the other channel to explain what takyon was talking to you about there?
