ZP Not Spinning Content

[mdsurf]

Hello everyone, for some reason on my templates zp doesn't always spin the content. its pretty much 50/50 on if it decides to spin it or not. all the spintax and formatting is correct so i dont know why it spins it sometimes and not others. my articles are nested spun, only 2 levels deep though. anyone know why zp keeps turning out these unspun articles?

Make sure there is no " - " dashes at the start of spins.


example :

{my|-your|his} {mom|dad|donkey} {rocks|sucks|parties naked}

at the start do you mean like first word o my spinns? cause i have links in the beginning of my spins which have dashes in them

I found when pulling spintax, if the first character of the first word in the string is "-" the spin doesn't work. However if you have a "-" in the second word it should work.

For example -
This will crash the spin.

{-Buy|Sell|Eat} {Zennoposter|-Women|Borscht} {now|soon|always|dogs}

This will not crash the spin.
{Buy|Sell|Eat} {Zennoposter|-Women|Borscht} {now|-soon|always|dogs}

problem is with special strings like "-}" and "{-"

Ok that is why my spin crashed... thanks for that.

This should be changed in v4 too, pretty annoying if you can not simply copy&paste your huge ass spun articles and have to do a search and replace for this stuff all the time (nono, not funny)
