Re: Need a memory jogger - whitespace in filenames

[Derek Pomery <pomerydc@thc-tsg.com>]

Thanks for the page, I rebuild glimpse (now on version 4.14)
However, we are getting broken links on search.  Seems to be URL is still 
ignoring whitespace (all of $link past first space ends up in $title)
Seems to be in parsing here:
 if($QS_lines){
                # look for line number, too
                
(/^([^$FILE_END_MARK]+)$FILE_END_MARK+([^\s]+)\s*(([^\\:]|\\:|\\\\)*):\s
*(\S\S\S\s+\d+\s+\d\d\d\d):\s*(\d+)\s*:(.*)/) || next;
                $file = $1;
                $link=$2;
                $title=$3 || '';
                $date = $5 || '';
                $line = $6 || '';
                $string = $7 || '';
        }else{
                
(/^([^$FILE_END_MARK]+)$FILE_END_MARK+([^\s]+)\s*(([^\\:]|\\:|\\\\)*):\s
*(\S\S\S\s+\d+\s+\d\d\d\d):(.*)/) ||
                   (/^([^$FILE_END_MARK]+)$FILE_END_MARK+([^\s]+)\s*/) || 
next;
                /^There are matches to/ && next;
                $file = $1;
                $link = $2;
                $title = $3 || '';
                $date = $5 || '';
                $string = $6 || '';
        } 

working on figuring out that.  If you beat me to it, feel free to e-mail. 
 I really wish people would make nasty REGEX multi-line and commented...
