link.db question
I just noticed this in my database:
Ok...here is an example of what's happening.

2|Title|http://www.site.com|date|Category|De|
3|Title|http://www.site.com|date|Category|De|
4|Title|http://www.site.com|date|Category|De|this is the very last field and
the info is hard spaced......
5|Title|http://www.site.com|date|Category|De|

Ok now hopefully it looks like it should in the forum. I took out several fields just so I could show an example in the forum. If you notice #4 there is a hard break in the very last field....the line in my database is obviously much longer than that, but I purposly made it short for demo purposes. Anyway...shouldn't the line continue all the way rather than having a hard break? Or is it just because that line is too long to span all the way accross? I haven't done a build since I noticed this, because I'm wondering if this will cause any problems! BTW...it only happens with the longest link info that I have. Any ideas?

Thanks

Typically, the text in fields should wrap around to the next line. Are you looking at your links.db via your text editor or online via telnet?

Why not experiment...build your index and see what happens?

Hey buddy,

I feel like I know you since your the only one who reply's to my question/comments! Anyway...yeah I'm looking at it via text editor, and I think I'll try building...I've got backups anyway, so what the hell! I'll let you know how it went (not that you really care) but I just thought I'd let you know how it went! :-')
