[TC 11.02] Lister: Find next in a file not ending with newline char

[white]

Create a file with the following contents.
Make sure that there is no newline at the end (so the file ends at the end of the line and not below it).

Code: Select all

This is a test. This is a test.

Now do this test:

• Press Ctrl+F and search for: this
• Press F3
• Press F3 again
  An error is displayed: Not found: this
• Press Ctrl+F and search for: test
• Press F3
• Press F3 again
  No error, the last word seems to be found again.
• Press Ctrl+F and search for: test.
• Press F3
• Press F3 again
  An error is displayed: Not found: test.

Confirmed. This seems to have started in 10.50. Versions 10.0 and older find "test" properly and display the "not found" message as expected. The bug was introduced between 10.0 and 10.50.

It's caused by a function to prevent infinite loops at the end of some files. The infinite loop is stopped by re-selecting the last match. It happens when the file offset of the last match is an odd number. I will try to add some additional checks.

The bug was introduced between 10.0 and 10.50.

Confirmed. In Total Commander 10.50 beta 1 to be exact.

Perhaps due to this change:

02.09.21 Fixed: Lister: In rare cases, a text search may not end by itself, only when the user presses another key (32/64)

[ghisler(Author)]

Yes, that's exactly the reason.

This should be fixed in Total Commander 11.03 RC1, please check it!

17.11.23 Fixed: Lister, Find next: With some search texts, no "Not found" error was shown and the last result remained selected (32/64)

Tested OK using Tc 11.03rc1 32-bit and 64-bit.
