Forms - General - GPS adding characters to Time variable about pat HOT 8 CLOSED

Got it. Thanks! 👍

IMO our parser should be clever enough to handle trailing/leading spaces. Adding it to the TODO list.

EASY FIX (cause I did it)

.txt has an extra space at time variable

GPS Position Report.txt

Extra space at end of this line:
Time:

So there is a bug in the forms file GPS Position Report.txt then? Is that you conclusion?

Agreed, we have to treat the form templates as immutable since they are published by WDT; we're just consuming them and need to deal with them as they are.

Thanks for the report and the debugging!

So just to help further...the txt files are static...so this is more of a typo in that static txt file....

But you folks know way more than I do, this is what it seems to me.

Looked a bit closer into this. It's clearly a bug in the form file and/or the system parsing the produced message. The template has a whitespace character after the <var thetime>, which we preserve. I don't think it's a good idea to remove trailing whitespace from the message body by default.
