LanguageHandler question

Didier Bur

Hi all,
Why is this not working ?

$tStrings = LanguageHandler.new("Components.strings")

And this is working:

$tStrings = LanguageHandler.new("sandbox.strings")

All other ".strings" files work, except this one. All are at the correct location.
The message I get is the following:

@unknownuser said:

Error: #<NoMethodError: C:/PROGRA~1/Google/GOOGLE~4/Tools/LangHandler.rb:72:in ParseLangFile': private method gsub!' called for nil:NilClass>

In LanguageHandler.rb, the line 72 is:

	keyvalue[1].gsub!(";", "")

So keyvalue[1] seems to be nil, but in reverse exploring the code, I can't see what's wrong with the file.
All usual functions of this file work OK: components names are in french in the component browser and so on...
Any idea someone ?
Attached in the french components.strings file if you want to try it.

Put it in your Resources/local_name folder
(make a backup of yours first)

Try adding these 3 lines to the Langhandler.rb code.
(The last 3 on the left)

     
                           #pull out the key
                                keyvalue = entryString.split("\"=\"")
$keyvalue = keyvalue
$entryString = entryString
printf("'%s' '%s' '%s'\n", entryString, keyvalue[0], keyvalue[1])

This will print out how it splits the entryString.

and the two $variables let you examine whatever the last values were when it failed.

It turns out that it fails on the line: "-- Runtime --" = "-- Durée d'exécution --";

and the reason it fails, it because it is looking for: "=", and this line has: " = "
(spaces around the equals signs.)

Yep, that's it !

Thanks Al. I was thinking that the strip method didn't care of spaces, and it does in fact.

Since components.strings is the stock file that is installed with the french package of GSU: to SU Team
