Script truncated in save / edit sequence

[Ralf B. Lukner]

I have a script of ~3660 characters (w spaces counted) and 86
paragraphs. If I save the input window (and thus the script) and
subsequently edit the script, the last two characters are truncated.
I can reenter that last line and the script works fine.
Unfortunately this means I must store the scripts in another
application. Any suggestions for avoiding the script truncation after
a save input / edit?

Try setting _INPUTBUFFERSIZE to higher value (i.e. 10000).  The buffer size setting helps keep the screen highly responsive.

One thing worth mentioning is that changing the values of _INPUTBUFFERSIZE or _OUTPUTBUFFERSIZE is not persistent between sessions.  Persisting any value can be accomplished by adding code to your start-up script ('hello.lua' by default).

Set _INPUTBUFFERSIZE=10000 . Confirmed that it was set in both
extras.lua and my script (by print'ing it). It made no difference at
all (file still cut off at exactly the same location)

Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce the problem.

Just to be clear, is it the last two characters being truncated and not characters from the beginning?  The reason I want to be clear is that iLuaBox truncates characters from the top as the buffer fills past the assigned limit.  There must be something else going on here (hidden control character maybe?).

Please consider posting your script for closer examination and test.  You can also send it to sup...@mobileappsystems.com if you wish.

I had a similar problem. The culprit was an international character
(ñ) that I was using in a comment. (I write my comments in Spanish).
Ilua replaced the ñ with strange characters every time I opened the
source file, and some characters where truncated at the end of the
program.

Line 19 should be changed to use a valid Lua syntax 'elseif' instead of 'else if'.

Line 76 contains the character  '≥'.   ry using '=>' instead.
