I have troubles selecting records when using bools in the expression.
Am
I am doing it wrong, or is it a bug?
It looks like both, to me. # is the comment character, not the special
field prefix %
However, even correcting that, your examples don't return what I would have
expected. Adding
a couple of boolean operators though does:
recsel -e '!!bool1' -P name test.rec
Maybe Jose can give his opinion.
The reason for this behaviour is that the interpreter of selection
expressions (src/rec-sex.c) is currently decoupled from the field type
system: all fields are either numbers or strings.
I want to change this in order to remove the boolean comparison problem,
but also to allow comma-separated enumerated entries and other
goodies... a patch for this this would be highly appreciated btw :)
