Has anyone managed to get spaces in channel names working with PaperIRC?

I don't remember this being a problem, but making an official room in the config like [%#The\bLobby] doesn't seem to work (joining the webchat to RoomName="The Lobby" shows it doesn't exist.

use rhx

old but effective:

<?php

$rm = $_GET['rm'];

$rhx = $_GET['rhx'];

function hex2str($hex)

{ for($i=0;$i<strlen($hex);$i+=2)

{ $str.=chr(hexdec(substr($hex,$i,2))); }

return $str; }

$troom = hex2str($rhx);

$troom = str_replace('%#', '', $troom);

$troom = str_replace('\b', ' ', $troom);

?>

call it in as $troom te return the original channel name with spaces, so Comedy Factory for example works instead of Comedy\bCentral.

I mean PaperIRC has the problem not the OCX.

If you add [%#The\bLobby] to the configuration PaperIRC makes a room called TheÅ\Lobby or something like that.

The reason it was called paper is because you could only fill one sheet of a4 before it crashed
