#14336 closed bug (fixed)

TextSearch won't accept "--with-..." as search terms

Platform: All

Description

It seems it's passing the term to grep unescaped, and grep fails with "unrecognized argument".

with Regular Expression enabled of not?

A quick check shows that grep -F "--with-..." works, but grep "--with-..." doesn't.

I guess when Regular Expression is enabled, the -e option should be explicitly passed then, as `grep -e "--with-..." works as expected.

  • (a) current vs. (b) proposed

    a b  
    272     if (! fRegularExpression)
    273         argv[argc++] = "-F"; // no a regexp: force fixed string,
     272    argv[argc++] = fRegularExpression ? "-e" : "-F";

It doesn't work in both cases. Exact term: --with-theme in libreoffice's source directory.

I guess the root cause was fixed in #15650. Could you check again?

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Closing, as I really believe this issue is a duplicate of #15650, which is fixed in hrev53758. Please re-open if the issue persists.
