CARDSON doesn't always work for hole cards

[lonnie]

I've noticed that sometimes the "CARDSON" command doesn't work on the hole cards and sometimes it does. Any idea what is up with this?

[Xianti]

Works with most standard hand histories. The history must enclose the card notations within brackets -- [ As Ks ] -- for the CARDS ON command to work. UltimateBet, for example, does not use brackets in their hand histories.

Is this what you mean?

CARDSON

No - this is a hand from Party.

[ As 5s ]

weird. Don't know how to explain that one...

[Xianti]

Hmm.. AvatarKava is the one that wrote the code for us.


If he can't figure it out, we're at a loss. Sorry.

[lonnie]

no problem. It's weird because it doesn't always do it, just every now and then. Maybe we can figure out what circumstances it does it in.

[Les_Worm]

I had the same problem and it was because I had extra spaces. Just make sure you only have one space in between each bracket and card, etc.....

You're absolutely correct. I checked my sample hand above and there was a n extra space in front of the A in [ A 5 ] . I took it out and now it works.

I'll bet this is another bug with the Mozilla copy/paste, I've had trouble from time to time using copy/paste in Mozilla.

Nice work Les.

I use mozilla as well so it may be the browers copies it wrong, but I figured that out the other day.
