Trouble with long text strings...

Hi Jarrod -

Very excited about iPad control development. I ran into a snag.

Long text strings from Crestron are only displaying the tail end of
the string.

The strings are coming from WMC MyMovies via Autonomic Controls IP
Processor v2.4.

At first I thought the \xFE\x02 inserted every 100 characters was the
problem BUT I edited line 870 of their code and the problem persists.
Without the \xFE\x02 both the xPanel and iPad display the same; only
showing the tail end of the string.

With the \xFE\x02 in the strings the xPanel works BUT the iPad only
displays text after the LAST \xFE\x02.

Below are SNIPs from debugger, the suspect code and AC's response.

What are your thoughts? Probably very simple; tried word wrap, etc...

Thanks,

Brad Norman

AUTONOMIC CONTROLS RESPONSE AND CODE
=====================================

Brad,
Since Crestron panels can only receive 255 characters of text at a
time, this sequence is a concatenation command, telling the panel to
add further text to the object, rather than replace it. You should be
able to edit the S+ module to eliminate this behaviour.

case (property="Synopsis"):
{

if (len(value) > 600)
{
value=left(value,600);
value = left(value,reversefind(".",value));
}
else
{
print("Value Length = %i",len(value));
}
MediaInfo7$ = "";
while (len(value) > 0)
{
if (len(value)>100)
{
chunk = removebylength(100, value);
}
else
{
chunk = value;
value = "";
}

//commented out by BN MediaInfo7$ = "\xFE\x02" + chunk;
MediaInfo7$ = chunk;
}
}
