From ae2b0d2ddca458eb282bb0458987e75e1875a659 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Meyering Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2012 20:55:10 +0100 Subject: tests: more automated quote adjustment Relax initial regexp to match more instances, but add a filter to avoid some invalid conversions. Run this: git grep -l "\`[^']*'" tests | xargs perl -pi -e '$q=q"'\''";' \ -e '$q="$q\\$q$q"; /(= ?\`|\`expr|\`echo|\Q$q\E)/ and next;' \ -e ' s/\`([^'\''"]*?'\'')/'\''$1/g' The last disjunct in the above (...) filter is to exempt any line that contains this string: '\'' With quoting like that, converting a ` to ' is likely to cause trouble, so we'll handle those manually. Here are three examples where the exemption is required: *': `link-to-dir/'\'': hard link not allowed for directory'*) ;; printf 'creating file `%s'\''\n' $f 'mv: inter-device move failed: `%s'\'' to `%s'\'';'\ --- tests/split/lines | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'tests/split/lines') diff --git a/tests/split/lines b/tests/split/lines index 374a32fea..f4db729e5 100755 --- a/tests/split/lines +++ b/tests/split/lines @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ #!/bin/sh -# show that `split --lines=2' works. +# show that 'split --lines=2' works. # Copyright (C) 2002, 2006-2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
