Im stumped

[Ryan Jennings]

Geetings list,
I recently tried adding a new custom colour code in the format..
 <ANSI_CUSTOM>number<ANSI_END>
...My problem lies within in a string formating function,
I just cannot get it to format with custom color codes.
Everything else i got working.

/* snip, originaly format_str_len by Taka*/
void stringf ( char *buffer, int length, enum align_flags align, char *fill,
               char *string )
{
    char buf[MSL];
    char buf2[MSL];
    char *new_string;
    char *count_string;
    char temp;
    int count = 0, nCount = 0;
    int pos = 0;

    new_string = buf;
    count_string = buf2;
    strcpy ( buf2, string );

    if ( !fill )
        fill = " ";

    if ( length == 0 )
        length = strlen_color ( BAR_1 ) - 2;


    while ( *count_string && nCount != length )
    {
        temp = *count_string++;

        if ( temp == ANSI_KEY )
        {
            temp = *count_string++;
            if ( temp == ANSI_KEY)
                nCount++;
            continue;
        }
        else if ( temp == ANSI_CUSTOM )
        {
           temp = *count_string++;
           while(temp != ANSI_END)
            temp = *count_string++;
           continue;
        }
        nCount++;
    }

    switch(align)
    {
        case ALIGN_RIGHT:
            count = ( length - ++nCount );
            while ( nCount++ <= length )
            {
            buf[pos++] = *fill;
            }
        break;

        case ALIGN_CENTER:
            nCount = ( length - nCount ) / 2;
            count = nCount;
            while ( nCount-- > 0 )
            {
            buf[pos++] = *fill;
            }
        break;
        default:
        break;
    }

    while ( *string && count != length )
    {
        temp = *string++;
        buf[pos++] = temp;

        if ( temp == ANSI_KEY)
        {
            buf[pos] = *string++;

            if ( buf[pos] == ANSI_KEY)
                count++;

            pos++;
            continue;
        }
        else if ( temp == ANSI_CUSTOM )
        {
            buf[pos] = *string++;

            while(buf[pos] != ANSI_END)
                buf[pos++] = *string++;
           continue;
        }
        count++;
    }

    while ( count++ < length )
        buf[pos++] = *fill;

    buf[pos] = '\0';
    strncpy ( buffer, new_string, length );
    return;
}

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
