Pfind 4.9 broken

I have reported this with an earlier version of Pfind. When searching for a string in a file, it finds too many files. Version 4.9 still has this bug. I'm running pup 415.

I wanted to find the sring "SA_SHIRQ" in files in the 'pctel' modem source package, and Pfind came up with 27 files ...er, that's all of the files in the package!

Running Pfind from a terminal and doing the search:

# pfind
/usr/local/pfind/pfind: line 752: /root/.pfind/pfindrc: No such file or directory
/usr/local/pfind/func: line 281: [: =: unary operator expected
grep: /root/.pfind/pfindrc: No such file or directory
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0xde)!

Also, when I exited from the program, the proper way via the File menu, I did not get back to a prompt in the terminal. Something is still running. Checking with 'ps' in another terminal:

23128 root 2652 S /bin/bash /usr/local/bin/pfind
23662 root 2680 S /bin/bash /usr/local/pfind/box_splash
23663 root 28520 S gtkdialog3 --program=pfind_splash --center
23672 root Z [sh]

I did a CTRL-C in the first terminal, get the prompt but these still running:

23662 root 2680 S /bin/bash /usr/local/pfind/box_splash
23663 root 28520 S gtkdialog3 --program=pfind_splash --center
23672 root Z [sh]

Anyway, I installed Turma, and it found 3 files.

First test comment
This is also supposed to allow bbcode, but you don't get a menu.

Try bold ... there are others for url and images, pretty easy to remember them.

Second test comment
I wondered why no one else had posted a comment...
it wasn't working.

I need to fix the way the script is executed from test.html

Blosxom a great minimalist blog
If you really like minimalism in a blog, check out Blosxom (Perl: http://www.blosxom.com/ and http://blosxom.ookee.com/blog/), or the newer and more up-to-date PyBlosxom (Python, of course: http://pyblosxom.sourceforge.net/static/about.html).

Both have the are based on the incredibly powerful, flexible, and portable idea of keeping blog posts as text files in a regular filesystem heirarchy.

Smart rewrites and mappingfs of paths, a decent set of plug-ins, and assurance that you can always move your content, plus the ability to leverage native Unix text-processing tools on your blog content - not a bad combo...
