Title: call sign space
Post by: flatiron1 on February 06, 2015, 02:16:17 PM
How about one space to be used in call sign,  Example FlatIron vs Flat Iron.

But that would be nine characters... that's over the limit.  :headscratch:

It will be a problem for dot commands:
.wingman Flat Iron
.s Flat Iron
.p Flat Iron You dweeb!
.score Flat Iron
.radio 1 Flat Iron
.join Flat Iron
.sqdinvite Flat Iron

all these will fail because of the space character.

pretty soon you will have names with nothing but blank spaces.  then blank spaces with a single digit then at the end you will end up with something like 999000. and who wants that.

In the Linux world to use a space in a file name you use a backslash to escape the space from the shell.  Perhaps you could be Flat\ Iron.   :devil

Says who?  Code is code. .p .r .whatever, after the first space everything else is name. Not trying to be harsh but.....

and all could be overcome with a few strokes of a coders key board...

It's a wish, let HTC figure out when/if/how to implement

Thank you, You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Now if they could figure out how to do it without losing all the old info that would be great
