Re: Quoting error: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''

[Hans Schou]

elvis was the first computer which was showing the problem:

elvis:~/tmp/parallel# bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
elvis:~/tmp/parallel# ls NEWS | ./src/parallel grep "'"


sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
elvis:~/tmp/parallel# ls NEWS | ./src/parallel -q grep "'"
* Alias for DBURL can contain '?query' part with %-quoting.


  sem 'sleep 2; echo foo'; sem 'sleep 1; echo bar'; sem --wait
  sem -j2 'sleep 2; echo foo'; sem -j2 'sleep 1; echo bar'; sem --wait
  cat tab_sep_table | parallel --colsep '\t' echo col1 {1} col2 {2}


* --sshloginfile '..' means use ~/.parallel/sshloginfile

(will try host=sko later)

All of these do what is expected. None of them show the problem described in:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parallel/2010-09/msg00005.html

Can you re-test on the computer that the original problem existed on?
