Use most specific matching prefix

[PaulWalkerUK]

Currently, LON_C_CTR and LON_N_CTR are online. However, these controllers are both only showing up under the full EGTT sector, rather than the more specific EGTT_N and EGTT_C.

I think this is driven by this part of VATspy.dat:

EGTT|London|LON|EGTT
EGTT-C|London ACC (Central) - London|LON_C|EGTT-C
EGTT-C|London ACC (Central) - London|LON_E|EGTT-C
EGTT-C|London ACC (Central) - London|LTC_N|EGTT-C
EGTT-C|London ACC (Central) - London|LTC_NW|EGTT-C
EGTT-N|London ACC (North) - London|LON_N|EGTT-N

If I edit this file to comment out the line EGTT|London|LON|EGTT it works as expected.

I'm not sure what logic it's currently using to match the callsign to the sector, but I wonder if it could search for the longest matching string and match against LON_C and LON_N instead of the more general LON?

Without having had a look at the code, what you describe is what is supposed to happen. Thanks for the report, I'm going to have to have a look at this.

Please do test if this issue is fixed on 0.3.5-beta.1 and if the rest of the controller name matching is still working 🙂

Thanks, I'll give it a test...

I think this is working as expected now. Yesterday I saw LON_CTR online, and this was correctly matching up to the whole EGTT. Now, LON_N_CTR is online and that's correctly matching to EGTT-N.

(p.s. I like the CATprism loading screen! 😸 )
