If you attempt to post a message containing:



you will see the 2 characters replaced with a strange character in the post. In order to correctly post these character string you must replace the




with



If you edit a previously posted message then you must repeat the replacement.

This is only for content of an inf file that you include directly in a post. The actual plugin inf file should not use these replacement strings.

I'm assuming that there are actually 4 zeros

Use this string:
0x4,"ControlSet001\Enum\Root\LEGACY_AAWSERVICE\0000","Legacy",0x1
Remember, if you edit the message you must redo the string.

Edit:
It just occurred to me that all you have to do is put the code in for the \

Edit2:
Removed extra ; that mysteriously appeared.
I had to dig around to find out how to show it both ways.

Hmm, I hadn't noticed that it was putting an additional ; in there.
Lets try that again, (editted the above post.)

Sorry

The mysterious ; was probably there just like the current space is there, to make the string display cause if you remove it all you see is a \.

Nice find d4vr0s. Thank you.

So remember, the new math is: & + # + 92 + ; + 0 = \0 Hey, it worked!!

I had to put the html code for an ampersand before the #92; to make it show the literal text.

This thread is describing a problem with entering data with "\0000" into posting on this board.

AFAIK, it does NOT refer to entering data into a registry.

I wasn't sure of what this post described, until I previewed my post!

Why else would you be entering that string into a posting?

The posting is more of a reference point than a discussion one.

what exactly is this thread about? it does not seem clear from the postings... but hey, maybe its just me

Maybe.

These posts originated from this situation: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?s=&...st&p=133060

And there have been other postings in the past that have encountered the problem. Thus the idea to keep the solution handy.

BTW When you Preview Post or even Edit a posting with the special characters the posting looses the special characters, whether in the title or the body itself.

This is a good point.
When I'm posting a plugin I normally use notepad to keep a copy of the text while tweaking it.
