Strange file detection problem

[kingzooly]

I have moved all my documents over to another driver, this is done right so all symbolic links also point there under env paths and so on, but AMS no longer lets me detect a file what is under the driver for some reason and its 100% there

SystemMessage(From, "Audio Enabled", true, false);	
if String.Find(Data, "SoundBite||", 1, true) == 1 then
	MySound = mysplit(Data, "||")  
	SystemMessage(From, "Sound Request Found "..Data.."("..type(MySound[2]).."):"..tostring(MySound[2]), false, false);
	if MySound[2] == "Yahoo" then
		SystemMessage(From, "Request for Yahoo", false, false);
		if File.DoesExist(_SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Audio\\y"..tostring(MySound[3])..".ogg") then
			__SendMe = false;
			SystemMessage(From, "SoundBite found", false, true);
			Audio.Load(CHANNEL_USER1, _SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Audio\\y"..tostring(MySound[3])..".ogg", true, false);
		else
			_Meg = ""
			
			if fileExists(_SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Audio\\y"..tostring(MySound[3])..".ogg") then
				_Meg = "Lua version found the file";
			end
			SystemMessage(From, "Unable to find SoundBite ("..type(MySound[3]).."):"..tostring(MySound[3])..":(".._Meg..")", false, true);
		end
	end

Both file detect, audo load and the lua file detect are failing, All the messages are printing back right so I don't understand why its not working.

Q:\Users\{User}\Documents\AutoPlay Media Studio 8\Projects\Project404\CD_Root\AutoPlay\Audio\1 .ogg

At the end of file it's adding a space between 1 and .ogg .. but I can't see why

The file name is given here

MySound[3]

MySound[3] = String.Replace(MySound[3], " ", "", false);
MySound[3] = String.Replace(MySound[3], "[", "", false);
MySound[3] = String.Replace(MySound[3], "]", "", false);

As you can see I remove any spaces but its still added it.

As you can see here from my system message there is no space at the end and I tried both "" and '' wraps

SystemMessage(From, 'Request for Yahoo('.._SourceFolder..'\\AutoPlay\\Audio\\'..tos tring(MySound[3])..'.ogg)', false, false);

I am confused to high heaven now with this ....


PS unblock H3ll if you have heaven unblocked.

The my Split function is

function mysplit(str, sep)
		local magic = "().%+-*?[]^$"
		if sep == nil then
			sep = "%s"
		elseif string.find(sep, magic, 1, true) then
			-- escape magic
			sep = "%"..sep
		end
        local t = {} ; i=1
        for str in string.gmatch(str, "([^"..sep.."]+)") do
                t[i] = str
                i = i + 1
        end
        return t
end

Tho I use the String Replace after this I don't see this been the problem, but I can't see where or why its' added a space at the end could it be another space or maybe a line end command I can't see?

OK I am getting a little miffed now at first I thought it was the way the text was been sent what was converting the data but I have base64ed it before even sending it and then decode it and use it and AMS down the line thinks it's OK to add a space when were it likes and brakes everything I don't know what is going on, I am really lost here.

>[SoundBite]:[0]:[nf ]:[SoundBite]<

>[SoundBite]:[0 ]:[nf]:[SoundBite]<

On its own it adds spaces to strings for no reason and I can't just remove the the space and it still seems to be there .... I am bloody lost now .. I really am

ANY insight IR any at all, come on, I watched people come and go all day, I been working on this project for along time now, and this is getting on my tit

its added spaces not to just strings I print but stings its sending to other functions no matter what I use to strip away the space, its driving me potty now.

/SoundBite! Yahoo 0 3 SoundBite, I used this and using space as the splitter in to tables and its still added a space I lost now I really am.

This is not a answer but its how I have got it to work at the moment

StringHERE = string.gsub(StringHERE, "%s", ""); 

I got a crash on %s+ but %s got ride of the space in that last table.
