Re: how to get rid of dot symbols


Nick, 
thanks for reply. 
Actually it was input_line_pointer trick...
So, if I do in md_assemble() something like:

{
	char *__t = input_line_pointer;
	msp430_operands(str);
	input_line_pointer = __t;
}

everything is fine then. If I leave input_line_pointer alone, I've got mentioned problems.

So, can anyone tell me what the input_line_pointer exactly for, except I use it in expressions?
There is a little info on this variable in docs, but not enough to know when use and 
when use not this variable.

Thanks,
Dmitry.
