How to avoid automatic deletion of spaces at the edges of the line for TXT_KEY_?

[saigon1983]

Good day to all! I have a problem converting TXT_KEY strings in lua files. Let's say I have this line of code:

sReconHeader = Locale.Lookup("TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_12") .. sTargetCityName .. Locale.Lookup("TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_13") .. sSpyName

The following tags are defined in the XML file:

<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_12">
<Text>Отчёт об операции в городе </Text>
</Row>
<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_13">
<Text>. Ответственный агент: </Text>
</Row>

Я хочу получить подобное сообщение на выходе:

"Отчёт об операции в городе SomeCity. Ответственный агент: SomeAgent"

And in fact, all the spaces at the end of these tags are automatically deleted, and I get:

"Отчёт об операции в городеSomeCity. Ответственный агент:SomeAgent"

Is there a way to avoid this? Maybe you need to add some special character at the end of the tag? I use Russian, if anything (Language_ru_RU).

And yes, this writing method also removes spaces:

sReconHeader = "{TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_12}" .. sTargetCityName .. "{TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_13}" .. sSpyName

Use Locale.ConvertTextKey() and "placeholders"

<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_12">
<Text>Отчёт об операции в городе {@1_City}. Ответственный агент: {@2_Spy}</Text>
</Row>

sReconHeader = Locale.ConvertTextKey("TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_12", sTargetCityName, sSpyName)

The placeholders don't have to be in order, so you could do

<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_12">
<Text>Отчёт об операции в городе {@2_City}. Ответственный агент: {@1_Spy}</Text>
</Row>

sReconHeader = Locale.ConvertTextKey("TXT_KEY_CO_STAT_TEXT_12", sSpyName, sTargetCityName)

Use Locale.ConvertTextKey() and "placeholders"

Yeah, thanks. I think, that is the only way, because [SPACE] marker also doesn't work.

BTW, what is the difference between {@1_City} and just {1_City}? I see both of them in game, but don't understand when use one or another.

There is info about everything, excet that I've asked)))

And the fact that no one answered my question about the difference (first part post #5) should tell you all you need to know ... ie that the community doesn't know

I think, I understand the difference: @1_ doesn't evaluate integers and excepts string values, while 1_ avaluates both of them
