I was curious how Python would handle this evil and non portable mess:
$ cat io.py from string import printable
f = open('foo', 'w') for i in range(0, 5): f.write("hello\0world\n")
f = open('foo', 'r') for l in f.readlines(): print ''.join(c if c in printable else '.' for c in l),
$ python io.py hello.world hello.world hello.world hello.world hello.world
Instead of doing it right, look for others who do it worse? Hi all,
I just noticed that io:lines() does not cope with \0 in the lines, and thus just returns truncated lines (lua-5.2.3, but legacy 5.1 likewise).
May I suggest replacing the call to fgets in src/liolib.c so that we can read lines with \0 data?
