output.activate grabs too much text.


Hi Tom;
One of the ideas for using output.activate is when using egrep to find files, or from diagnostic information reporting filenames. 

For example,   I execute 'egrep lpi *' and get
...
vr_axi_lpi.e:   event lpi_clk_f;
vr_axi_lpi.e:   event lpi_clk_r;
vr_axi_lpi.e:   on lpi_clk {

If I click (output.activate) on vr_axi_lpi.e in the output pane, I get:

Cannot get information about vr_axi_lpi.e:   event
Maybe it would be good to control the accumulation of characters via a list of legal characters that make up a filename. That way one could modify the list if desired. 

 Thanks.
