Hi,
I discovered a possible bug in wcmd. If you run "help for" inside wcmd, wcmd crashed and the winedebugger is called. I used to confirm this bug on my machine the latest tarball and a CVS-snapshot from today.
If anybody can confirm this bug I will be happy :)
The following lines are only correct if this bug is true:
The problem is that a single % letter inside the resource strings. Look for the for-help text in En.rc file and you find the sentence "The requirement to double the % sign when using FOR in a batch file does") get parsed and this single % caused the crash.
I found the following solutions and I don't know what is the right solution:
1. replace the single % with a double %% in all resource files
2. replace in the function WCMD_give_help (builtins.c:330) WCMD_output with WCMD_output_asis (WCMD_output (wcmdmain.c:733) called WCMD_output_asis but make some stuff for possible dynamic parameters)
3. patch the function WCMD_output (wcmdmain.c:733) with the attached patch (Replace a single % with a double % and all later called system function are be happy)
I prefer personal the second or third solution.
Regards,
Henning
