I am now convinced that there are also other problems with the way webcheck interprets options presented to it.
The --yank=PATTERN doesn't seem to work reliably. The man page says it accepts perl-type regular expressions, but I have been unable to find anything that works to exclude all URLs starting with / It seems that the simplest of regular expressions (i.e. literal strings) will work, as with the example on the manpage, but that metacharacters and character classes do not work. /[b] works, /[bcd] works for URLs starting with /b or /c or /d, even though these don't match the full URL as the manpage requires, but /[a-z] doesn't ^/.*$ seems to work with egrep but doesn't work with webcheck. It's all very confusing -- webcheck -q not silent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
