Find And Run Robot / FARR v2.00.56: Bugs in alias actions words
« on: February 25, 2007, 08:35 AM »
Mouser,
It was a treat to see 56 posted today. I grabbed it and started some testing on it. Here is the list...

- Searching folders not longer showes defined aliases. Fixed.

- The alias action keywords feature is still not working as documented and as I've seen it before (I tested exact same alias on an older version I have v2.00.48). You can confirm it using this test procedure...
1) create an alias 'vi'
2) I left regexp field blank.
3) results contained these 2 lines...
C:\windows\notepad.exe $$1
c:\program files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE $$1

actionv2.00.48v2.00.56
typing 'vi'shows alias results as definedshows nothing
typing '+vi'initiates a search immediately even if you type nothing afterwardsdoes not initiate a search immediately. You have to follow it with some path
selecting a file from search resutlsshows results as defined by alias along with selected file name as an argumentlaunches the file

- Also, I was testing this issue, I had on several occasions to remove and add aliases. This lead to FARR hanging as started using some of my defined aliases. This is same behavior I discussed in a separate thread here https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=7507.0. Removing the older ini file fixed it but I was able to capture the original file. Using it will consistently cause FARR to hang. I will e-mail to you.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Bugs or Inconsistencies in FARR v2.00.55

Mounser,
I think the whole explicit directory search feature is broken. Here is how...

Search StringActionComments
c:\program filesshow all subfolders listed.I think this is the intended behavior since we did not end the path with '\'
c:\program files\showed defined aliases, No folders or files showingnot sure if ending string with '\' has any effect.
c:\program files\\ or C:\program files\.still shows aliases.should've shown dirs or files only respectively

Again, I think this is related to the issue I listed in first post. I thought I should bring it to your attention just to be thorough.

Thanks

Find And Run Robot / Bugs or Inconsistencies in FARR v2.00.55

Mouser,
I thought I should start a new thread to isolate my issues in one place instead of having them mingle with other unrelated issues in the main thread.

  • Alias action keyword are not working.
I already described it in the main thread here https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=6624.325


  • Aliases are recognized even when they're part of another string
Typing these 2 strings will show alias contents...
'sys' and 'C:\windows\sys'. May be you can have it so that FARR knows when a string is intended for an alias (first word in line) or simply part of another string.


  • Typing directory paths shows all aliases
Typing 'c:\' will list all aliases defined? Not sure why?

It does not work either way '+kill notepad' or 'notepad +kill'.
Two releases ago, I used this feature and it worked just fine. I created an alias 'vi' with results pointing to 3 different file editors followed by $$1. When I typed '+vi application.log' I saw the 3 editors and when clicking on any, FARR showed 'file_editor.exe application.log' as expected.

Mouser,
I was able to get the alias action kwords to work 2 releases ago but not any more. This is what I'm doing...
1- group alias name: kill
2- regexp: blank (left it empty)
3- results: kill $$1 | c:\program files\FindAndRunRobot\Scripts\kill.exe "$$1"
4- typing '+kill notepad' does not initiate any search.

The help topic indicated the alias name should appear with '+' sign. I did that and FARR searched for notepad but it did not execute the kill.exe with file name as argument. Instead, it simply launched notepad.

What am I missing?
