Archive: length string


length string
I am using the latest version of NSIS but whenever i try to read some text from a file only parts of it are stored in the variable. The text has more than 1000 charecters.

Is there anyway to be able to store the whole thing in that one variable?


Are you saying a single line is more than 1024 chars?

Get large string build @ http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Special_Builds


I tried that. It did not work. Any other suggestions?


Use break lines or something :igor:


I put it in a XML file so that it would be easier to handle but still no luck. :weird:


I put the whole contents of the file into an XML file so it would be easier to use and I use the XML plugin to read the contents but still only around 1000 chars are stored in the variable.

Is this a problem with NSIS or the XML plugin?


If you're using the special build, it's a problem with the plug-in that ignores the string size it gets and always uses 1024.


OK. I will inform the developer of that plug-in and see if he/she can fix it.
