- Subject: format() with string of length >= 100 containing '\0'

Hi
In the Lua Reference manual is written that format() can only be used
with strings that don't contain '\0'.
For this reason, I use format("%s") to cut the characters following the
first '\0' from a string.
It works fine until I use a string of length greater than or equal to
100 characters.
For example:
strlen(format("%s", "1" .. strrep("\000", 98))) --> 1
strlen(format("%s", "1" .. strrep("\000", 99))) --> 100
strlen(format("%s", "\000" .. strrep("1", 98))) --> 0
strlen(format("%s", "\000" .. strrep("1", 99))) --> 100
format() executes "addnchar(L, s, l)" with string of length >= 100, and
addnchar() includes also the embeded '\0'.
Is it the right way to change this statement with "addnchar(L, s, strlen
(s))" ?
Bye
Mauro
