TSE: Issue: grep.exe: Using parameter -f does not move to the search hit line when pressing <ENTER>

[knud van eeden]

Hello,

Possible issue = Using parameter -f does not move to the search hit line when pressing <ENTER>

Tested with: clean installed latest TSE version 4.48

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create e.g. a file 

    c:\temp\foobar1.txt 

2. Add this example text to it and save the file:

a

a

a

a

3. Then run grep.s located in the TSE mac subdirectory:

mac\grep 

and fill in the dialog box in this data:

search = a 

files = c:\temp\foobar.txt

options = -f

4. then press <ENTER> to start the search, that will give this outcome:

c:\temp\foobar.txt:1: a

c:\temp\foobar.txt:2: a

c:\temp\foobar.txt:3: a

c:\temp\foobar.txt:4: a

5. Result: But then pressing <ENTER> on any of these lines

goes back to the original (other) file where you started to run grep.

6. Expected: Pressing <ENTER> on any of these lines should goto the file c:\temp\foobar.txt and to the line of that search result, e.g. line 2.

7. Note: As a side note: to quickly test this from the command line for different versions of TSE (e.g. 4.42, 4.43, 4.44, ...), use e.g. (where <TSE> is the main directory where TSE is installed)

<TSE>\g32.exe -emac\grep 

8. This behavior is also present in TSE 4.40a, thus probably unchanged since that previous official version until and including the latest TSE 4.48

Hello,

Possible issue = Using parameter -f does not move to the search hit line when pressing <ENTER>

when running the TSE macro 'grep.s'

The reason that it does not work is thus that TSE grep.s expects always this format:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------

c:\temp\foobar1.txt

1: a

2: a

3: a

4: a

c:\temp\foobar2.txt

1: a

2: a

3: a

4: a

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

but receives in this case (and that is not handled by grep.s)

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------

c:\temp\foobar1.txt:1       a

c:\temp\foobar1.txt:2       a

c:\temp\foobar1.txt:3       a

c:\temp\foobar1.txt:4       a

c:\temp\foobar2.txt:1       a

c:\temp\foobar2.txt:2       a

c:\temp\foobar2.txt:3       a

c:\temp\foobar2.txt:4       a

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

===

FYI:

So I have written a small program which converts the second format to the first format

See attached file: grepsemwaretse.s

That should work OK.

Note: I developed and used it e.g. in my 'grepsemware.s' in the case of GNU grep 

and could thus apply it also on TSE with -f afterwards.
