I have the same problem, but on a Windows distribution. If I cut down the length of the File Types list, the problem goes away.
Find In Files succeeds with this list of file types:
*.c;*.h;*.tcc;*.cc;*.hh;*.cp;*.hp;*.cpp;*.hpp;*.hxx;*.cxx;*.inl;*.xpm;*.tc,*.htm,*.html
It fails with this list of file types:
*.html,*.c;*.h;*.tcc;*.cc;*.hh;*.cp;*.hp;*.cpp;*.hpp;*.hxx;*.cxx;*.inl;*.xpm;*.tc,*.htm,*.html
There are no imbedded spaces in the lists. The only difference is that the 'bad' list has an additional *.html at the beginning of the line. With the 'bad' list, it finds the string in the *.h files, but ignores the *.c files.
I just noticed that the lists use both comma and semicolon as separators. Which is correct?
Is there a solution on Windows, similar to the solution you gave for Unix distributions? My SlickEdit is version 11.0.2 .
