The "steenking comment" is right above the code of is_node_name() :) <br>Ed<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 10:53 AM, Vlad Dumitrescu <<a href="mailto:vladdu55@gmail.com">vladdu55@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

<br>**<br>** n must be a valid node name: string of ([a-z][A-Z][0-9]_-)+<br>

Hi,<br><br>I couldn't find any documentation regarding which node names are allowed, so I had to trace it down in the emulator code. <br><br>Node names must conform to the following regexp: [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+<br><br>Maybe it should be added to the docs.<br>
