Lots of warnings when using find in files.

Hi,

I'm using the new TPv8. When I search through my websites with the "Find in Files..." function, often the majority of the resulting lines are warnings:

Code: Select all

WARNING: Line 3 too long (> 64k characters) in C:\websites\Sitebytes2010\ergobase.nl_old\tests\yaml\docs\assets\css\layout-min.css
WARNING: Line 12 too long (> 64k characters) in C:\websites\Sitebytes2010\ergobase.nl_old\tests\yaml\docs\assets\js\snippet\jquery.snippet.min.js
WARNING: Line 1 too long (> 64k characters) in C:\websites\Sitebytes2010\fleurenhof.com\httpdocs\edit\tinymce\tiny_mce.js
WARNING: Line 7 too long (> 64k characters) in C:\websites\Sitebytes2010\fleurenhof.nl_old\httpdocs\common\bootstrap\3.1.1\css\bootstrap.min.css
WARNING: Line 5 too long (> 64k characters) in C:\websites\Sitebytes2010\fleurenhof.nl_old\httpdocs\common\bootstrap\3.2.0\css\bootstrap.min.css
WARNING: Line 5 too long (> 64k characters) in C:\websites\Sitebytes2010\fleurenhof.nl_old\httpdocs\common\bootstrap\3.3.1\css\bootstrap.min.css
WARNING: Line 5 too long (> 64k characters) in C:\websites\Sitebytes2010\fleurenhof.nl_old\httpdocs\common\bootstrap\3.3.5\css\bootstrap.min.css

With an occasional real result thrown in. There's no real mistery as to why this happens. Clearly the new unicode string functions only work with lines up to 64k long? Add to that I have minified files in my websites, mainly javascript and stylesheets, and the results are these warnings.

1. One solution would be not to search through any *.js and *.css files. Regretably this is not an option for a webdesigner. Obviously *.js and *.css files are important.

2. I did not find a way to switch off these warnings.

3. I also cannot find a way to exclude *.min.js and *.min.css files from the search. If it exists I am not aware of it.

4. Reading the manual:

In the In Files box, either type a space separated list of wild cards, or choose a previous list from the drop-down list. Note that by creating a file containing a list of file names, one per line, and specifying the name of that file in this box, preceded by the character '@', this command will search the specified files.

I could use a file with all the filenames I want to search, but that's quite inflexible. Every change has to be incorporated in the file.

In short: I would like these warnings to disappear.

In my opinion line length should not affect searching in this way. It never did.

PS: I have noticed that the files, containing the long lines, can be edited without any warning, and that the long lines show up correctly. Eh? So it's only the searching which has problems with long lines?

I so, completely, unequivocally agree with this.

There needs to be an option to turn it off. I get about 2 dozen on every search for one of my projects.
