FICS

I'v a little request for you, I need help on this code:

I have a PGN that consists of text like below. I want to extract just the first game, so everything up until the second [Event] tag using regex. My attempts at regex101.com seem to fail over multiple lines, even though multiple line tag is on. For example:

The trial script shown below aims at extracting the space free strings from a text file F and passing them in the order found to a result file Fr where they are set one per line. Overall it works fine, except on the ends of lines where there might be a skipped line in the result file, except that I don't know if it is a script that stops properly, and except that, worst of all, it takes for ever to do its job.

I have a static lib (.a) containing some useful functions that I'm using inside another program. The link goes well, the functions from the lib are found, but when the program gets executed it doesn't work well. On the other hand, if I copy/paste the lib functions I need directly in my program code, it works well. Moreover, it was working well on win32, but now I'm on Win64.

Edit: I know the code is horrible (it's not mine), but it IS working when directly copied in the prog, which mean the developper won't change anything about it. What i need is to understand why it does not work well when i link the library where the function is, when it was working perfectly on Linux64 and Win32. You may find a lot of problems in this code, but it's just one example; since it doesn't explain why it works in the prog but not linked by the lib, it'll be useless to me since the dev doesn't care at all.

Here's ONE of the problematic functions in the lib (i took the simplest, which does not depends to much on the lib, but i suspect others not to work as expected):

I am getting one xml string, that I want to parse and get the data from it. I tried to parse it to json but I get the empty braces as a result.
