Ah yes with either the UTF-8 SAD or the general case Unicode injection hacks, the list of files to search must be uniformly encoded -- whether list implicit (segregated by directory) or explicit (filtered and list fed e.g. via xargs or $(cmd)). (Which is the advantage to adding a BOM-detector option. I don't know if i can pull off a full fait-accompli on that, as the impact to the test suite would add complication elsewhere. ) -- Bill Ricker [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ack users" group.
