Subject: [9fans] Brdline and the last line
Date: Wed,  9 Oct 2013 16:53:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4c6dec5271e325c32ee144badfeae4c8@quintile.net> (raw)

Hi all

It has long been an irritation that Brdline returns failure (to match the
end of line token) at end of file if the file does not end with a newline.

This is correct but annoying.

does anyone had a neat snippet of code which ensures we parse the
last line correctly?

For files on the filesystem I just fix them, but I am wrapping Brdline
around a tcp connection so I am not in control of how people terminate
their files...

-Steve
