TPIPE and avarice?

[vefatica]

Whenever I Google "perl greedy" I find that Perl is greedy by default and that the modifier "?" will make it non-greedy. TPIPE's default Perl settings are backwards. Is that something TCC has any control over?

Use the TPIPE /Perl=... option to set the greedy default.

Use the TPIPE /Perl=... option to set the greedy default.

That doesn't set any defaults; it only affects the current command (and, if the help is correct, only the immediately preceding TPIPE filter). And typing "?" is considerably easier than typing "/perl=4096,1,0,1" and accomplishes the same thing (see below). I was hoping for a once-and-for-all change; an INI option would suffice.

v:\> echo a   b | tpipe /replace=4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0," +","\n" /perl=4096,1,0,1
a
b

v:\> echo a   b | tpipe /replace=4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0," +","\n"
a


b

v:\> echo a   b | tpipe /replace=4,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0," +?","\n"
a
b

There isn't any way to set a permanent default for TPIPE.

Hmmm! It could be a build option for the DLL. Do you build the DLL?

No, I do not build the dll.
