Hi Charles.
Recutils version 1.9
I inadvertently saved a recutils file as something,rec
(something-comma-rec)
After a few attempts to print the records using recsel on
something-dot-rec, I realized that the file name
contained a comma not
a dot.
So I called recsel on something-comma-rec and the
records in the file
were printed out. I tried a couple of other operations
such as recfix
, and no errors.
I would expect an error message such as "Invalid
recutils file."
This a bug or is there some deep dark secret concerning
naming
conventions? After all, the manual uses "dot"rec (or
"period"rec, if
you prefer.)
The name of the file is irrelevant to recutils.
The utilities will just read and process the file you
provide, without
looking at the file extension...
I think Charles is complaining about the lack of a warning
message when
recfix is passed the name of a non-existent file.
I think you fixed this bug a few days ago.
Oh I see :)
