You should call a SetText("") every time you read from an EditBox, so the command line is free for the next input.
You should call a SetText("") every time you read from an EditBox, so the command line is free for the next input.
SetText fails when the text contains characters that aren't renderable (e.g. control chars, invalid UTF8). In that case the EditBox is cleared and [[API EditBox GetText|EditBox:GetText()]] returns the empty string.
(Before WoW 8.0 unrenderable chars were displayed as '?')
