[PATCH v2 2/2] log -L: improve error message on malformed argument

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The old message did not mention the :regex:file form.

To avoid overly long lines, split the message into two lines (in case
item->string is long, it will be the only part truncated in a narrow
terminal).
