Hi :) Nope, it;s the standard way these mailing lists have behaved for a long time now. It used to be that people could just click on "Reply to" and their message would go straight to the mailing list. Now most email-clients require people to click on "Reply to all ..." and the mailing list's address is only in the "CC" rather than in the "To" field. Numerous people have grumbled about it in here but few bother to post a complaint to the postmaster address and those that do just seem to get agro for it. One person here did try to show how he re-configured his own email-client to get around the problem and a few of the other longer-term people here might well have followed his lead but i am not sure what effect that sort of thing has on non-LO emails. Also i kinda believe in the "Eat your own dog food" principle so that i stay in touch with the problems normal users have when they first approach this mailing list.

Well, Maurice quoted from my mail, so I'm pretty sure he did receive it. Btw: Tom, your mail was addressed to me directly, and CCd to the group, causing my default reply-to to go to just you (luckily I noticed in time). Not sure why this happens for some messages, did you do anything differently for your message?

Email threads sometimes get a bit disjointed, especially if an over-enthusiastic junk/spam-filter tends to carefully reject anything with any hint of code in it! However it could easily be that someone starts from their older messages and work forwards to newer and newer ones instead of the more sensible approach (imo) of working from the newest posts backwards to the oldest. By starting with the newest ones first i often find that older posts have already been dealt with and can thus be safely ignored even if they stir-up side-issues (which also might have already been largely dealt with). On the other hand it might be good if someone could test Paul's script. Perhaps it's possible to combine the 2 ideas so that both the file-name AND the few lines of surrounding text could be output? Would that help? Also it might be good to have the output directed into a file rather than just onto the command-line? I really like Don Pobanz's answer and the way Paul was able to help tweak it. It felt like a return to what this mailing list is largely about = collaborating to build-up a better answer faster than the individuals had time to do on their own. Good work!! :))) Regards from Tom :) On 24 August 2014 19:29, Paul <paulsteyn1@afrihost.co.za> wrote:Try changing the line: unzip -ca "$file" content.xml | grep -ql "$1" to: unzip -ca "$file" content.xml | grep -qC 10 "$1" the "-l" to grep makes it show only the names of files that match, not the content. The "-C #" gives # lines of context around the match. Or you could use "-B #" and "-A #" to print # lines of leading and trailing conext, respectively. You could also make a script to pull the contents of all the files and concatenate them in such a way that you can use Writer to do find inside one big document, but that would be considerably harder. Try this first. Paul Disclaimer: I haven't actually tested this, just done a "man grep", but I think the syntax is right...

(It's likely that all files in the list will contain at least one occurrence of the string.) That would be a start, but what I am looking for is a means of seeing the string as if Writer was showing the file contents, so that I can see the surrounding text. (Equivalent to joining all the doc's into one big file, then doing a Find. Perhaps I shall have to do the joining manually...)-- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted-- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
