This is hrev56563.
If I copy&paste something from a GUI editor like StyledEdit into an editor
runnning in Terminal, like nano or ne, the newlines (CR? LF?) and tabs
don't make it. For nano, the width of the Terminal window seems to
determine where a line ends most times, it appears.
This block:
{{{
# Get optional 'action'
options="clean debug catkeys help h -h --h --help"
for item in $options ; do
for opt in "$@" ; do
if [ "$opt" = "$item" ] ; then
action="$opt"
break
fi
done
done
}}}
becomes pasted in nano:
{{{
# Get optional 'action'
options="clean debug catkeys help h -h --h --help" for item in $options ;
do for opt in "$@"
; do
if [ "$opt" = "$item" ] ; then action="$opt" break fi done
done
}}}
"ne", the 'nice editor' seems to interpret the first CR/LF(?) as some sort
of command or something (not a big user of "ne" yet...), and jumps into a
sort of input line at the bottom.
I did a quick check, it works as expected under linux.
