How to add grep command to the Tools menu

[jackhab]

I need to extract several lines from active source file. I tried to add grep command to the Tools menu like this (I'm using dummy pattern for the test) :

Code

Name: List ints
Executable: /usr/bin/grep
Parameters: '-e int' ${ACTIVE_EDITOR_FILENAME}

Launch tool hidden with standard output redirected

The tool fails with the following log:

Code

Launching tool 'List ints': /usr/bin/grep '-e int' /media/backup/mylinux/projects/trunk/Manager/Main.cpp (in /media/backup/mylinux/projects/trunk/MrStreamManager)
stderr> execvp(/usr/bin/grep, -e int, /media/backup/mylinux/projects/trunk/Manager/Main.cpp) failed with error 2!
stderr> 
stdout> 
Tool execution terminated with status 255

What seems to be the problem here? Do I need some quoting tricks?

Thanks.

You don't want the quotes arou8nd the -e flag:

Name: List ints
Executable: /usr/bin/grep
Parameters: -e int ${ACTIVE_EDITOR_FILENAME}

Still has the problem

Code

 execvp(/usr/bin/grep, -e, int, /media/backup/m...cpp) failed with error 2!

Make sure grep is in /usr/bin !
On my system (debian) it is in /bin !

EDIT:
You do not need to use the absolute path, if grep is in your searchpath.

U-N-B-E-L-I-E-V-A-B-L-E ! ! !

It is in /bin. I forgot to 'which grep'. Thank you so much, jens.
