problem loading a variable with spaces

Musicman and others,

I am loading a variable using this code:

Code:

---

loadVariables("http://littlewoods.dev.jackpotjoy.com/jackpot.jsp?gameId=55",_root);

---

the problem is that the value returned is:

Code:

---


total=1,142.00

---

note the spaces!

when I import into flash, I get this:

How on earth do I reference total? I've tried using '||||total' and other alternatives but I just can't do it.

please help make a frustrated man not frustrated any more. Cheers in advance.

I know this, but the sloution is easy. Just cut off the last two characters and then convert it to number. Or if it is bigger string, the serch it for ord(char)=10 (that is the /n) and the ord(char)=13 (that is the /r) and also cut it off.

thats the easy bit, what variable name so I use, I;ve tried:

total
|||total
total
%0a%0a%0atotal

etc
etc

cheers anyway

Hi,

any chance to get rid of those spaces in the jsp ?

Otherwise, try whether this["\r\n\r\ntotal"] works

its an external company who own the link and they're reluctant to do it.

thanks anyway musicman, I'll just have to stump up and pay more for them to change it.
