Re: [bug-recutils] question about bool types

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hi.

    I'm playing around with recutils and added a bool type to my %rec
    definition.  I understand I can use 0/1, yes/no, or true/false in the
    field.
    
    I'm a little stumped on how I can select records that are either true
    or false in the specified field.  Doing
    
       recsel -e 'BoolField = 0' file.rec
    
    only returns the records where 'BoolField' is actually set to 0, and
    not 'no' or 'false'.  Am I missing something here or do I have to
    query all three of 0, no, and false?
    
The second.  Unfortunately at this moment the evaluation of the
selection expressions is totally unaware of the field types.

This will change at some point, but until then I would suggest to create
your own boolean type using %type, using a single pair values
representing true and false.
