Hi all, This is just a note for you in case you came across a strange UTF-8 string problem in YCP (maybe you already know that but for me it was quite a surprise):
YCP string operator [] takes _byte_ index in the string, while size(string) returns _number_of_characters_. The problem is when you combine both functions, the result will be probably buggy, see https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728588 Example from the bug: size("áa") => 2, but "áa"[1] is not "a" as expected but the second _byte_ of the string which is one half of the "á" UTF-8 character, if you remove it you'll get garbage in the string... Keep this in your mind when iterating over YCP strings... (I'm not sure whether fixing YCPString::[] would be a good idea, it might break something else.
