  • Add support for @-codes in text.ini

    From Nigel Reed@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Fri Jan 12 22:09:50 2024

    I want to do be able to do something like this without having to go into the code and change the lines manually.

    ```
    NodeLoggedOff: "\1_\1w\1hNode %2d: \1g%s\1n\1g logged off @DATE @TIME\r\n\1n" NodeLoggedOnAtNbps: "\1_\1w\1hNode %2d: \1g%s\1n\1g logged on @DATE @TIME\r\n\1n"
    ```

    Some strings in the text.dat and text.ini already support @-codes. e.g. all strings without format specifiers (e.g. %s) should already support @-codes.

    Strings with format specifiers (e.g. %s) require special treatment to support @-codes. It's not all or nothing, it's case by case.

    The issue was that I didn't close the @DATE and @TIME with another @.
    Once I added those it worked fine.

    Are you saying you didn't need my code change?
