Copy/pasting > into `syncterm` is hard for reasons, but I finally figured it out this morning, my string had some of the IAC commands in it. Strangly, printing it to the console printed like this: String: "new" Length: 5 then I tried iterating through the string as bytes and saw: 1 3 110 101 119 1 and 3 are the last bytes of the echo and sga telnet responses. so "new" didn't = "new" lol So, my error is in my read string function, and not in the file accessing at all. Thanks for the tips though! assert helped. I'm sure this code is horrible, a lot of it is me trying different things to get it to compile... I think I mentioned? I ordered a book on rust from amazon, should hopefully get here next week, in the meantime... :) Hopefully will organise my code better after working through that, at present it's a bit of a mess.
