possible bug in GNU csplit


From: Jared Hansen
Subject: possible bug in GNU csplit
Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2003 01:40:06 -0400
User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3; MultiZilla v1.4.0.3e) Gecko/20030312

Greetings. I seem to have run into some unexpected behavior in the cygwin-distributed win32 port of csplit, and I could not duplicate it on my machine that runs Debian GNU/Linux. The file testfile.txt is attached; it's the file I was working with when I encountered the odd behavior. Here's what happened:

On my windows machine, I can run:
---
csplit testfile.txt '/###/' {*}
---

and depending on whether my shell is zsh or cmd.exe, I get, respectively:
---
zsh: no matches found.  {*}
   or
csplit: '/###/' invalid pattern
---

I am new to the csplit utility, but I'd been over the man page about 5 times, and I checked for other examples, and was pretty sure I was doing it correctly. Trying it out on my Debian box, I got the behavior I expected (a list of offsets where the file had been split, and a bunch of new files were created). I was able to reproduce this behavior several times. The windows machine is on Win2k, although I doubt it makes any difference in this case.... I am interested to know why the error message reported to zsh is different from the one reported to cmd.exe, but that's more idle curiosity than anything...

I am not sure whether this is actually a bug, or whether there's a difference in the win32 port of the utility that isn't documented (which would make it a bug in the documentation, I guess), but I thought that I would report it because it was easy enough to reproduce, and really had me baffled until I thought to see whether the problem was with the port of the utility instead of with the syntax I was using.

Thanks for all the work on this and other utils in the first place; I must say that it's made my life much easier and better.
cheers,
jeh
