in reply to Re: Obscure in thread Obscure
Thanks, Simon, for the feedback. I probably should have noted more clearly in the intro the kind of limitations with '##' that you note. Obscure certainly won't work in its present form for everyone or every script, including itself -- this is one script I haven't needed or deliberately intended to obscure. I see what you mean about the $t, $a, $b etc. -- these are probably a little to brief and do need improvement.
On the other hand if you follow what, for me at least, are the relatively unrestrictive rules noted there you have a quick solution for code protection on new stuf you write and much that is already written. For instance, in not stripping a single '#' string unless followed by a space, html color attributes, many text contstructs, etc. that include it have worked out so far for me (100K lines.) (This rule also allows you to leave comments in the obscured script should you wish by simply leaving out a space after '#', as well as accepting the $# construct for array size, etc.)
I did look at Filter but found it to be more complicated and time consuming than I needed for my coding style.
