Re: apparently valid recutils file created when saved with comma

[Jose E. Marchesi]

         Hi Charles.
         
             Recutils version 1.9
             
             I inadvertently saved a recutils file as something,rec 
(something-comma-rec)
             
             After a few attempts to print the records using recsel on
             something-dot-rec, I realized that the file name contained a comma 
not
             a dot.
             
             So I called recsel on something-comma-rec and the records in the 
file
             were printed out. I tried a couple of other operations such as  
recfix
             , and no errors.
             
             I would expect an error message such as "Invalid recutils file."
             
             This a bug or is there some deep dark secret concerning naming
             conventions? After all, the manual uses "dot"rec (or "period"rec, 
if
             you prefer.)
             
         The name of the file is irrelevant to recutils.
         The utilities will just read and process the file you provide, without
         looking at the file extension...
    
    I think Charles is complaining about the lack of a warning message when
    recfix is passed the name of a non-existent file.
    
    I think you fixed this bug a few days ago.
    
Oh I see :)
