To reproduce:
$ echo -e '/fooa/foo/a=mesh\n/fooa/foo/b=desh'|2csv foo a b
(no output)
$ echo -e '/fooa/foo/a=mesh\n/fooa/foo/b=desh'|2csv fooa/foo a b
mesh,desh
The output should be the same in both situations. (Except that the
documentation lacks 2csv examples, so it's hard to tell how exactly 2csv
should be used.)
The bug is here in 2csv.c:
find = strstr(buffer,record);
if (NULL == find || '/' != find[record_len]
|| (buffer != find && '/' != find[-1])) {
dump(argc,fields,quote,delimiter);
continue;
}
it tries to check whether we got out of a record and should dump the
record values, but because strstr only finds the _first_ occurrence of
the record identifier, the logic does not work if there are
superelements of the record element which contain its name as a
substring of their name.
