Re: Under Linux, "Find in Files" with a '$' character doesn't work

Jingcheng Zhang:

I cannot find a text with '$' in it, the result is invalid. But under 
windows it works correctly.
Seems the '$' is hijacked by linux shell which makes the problem. How to 
solve?


On Linux, the Find in Files command works by running another SciTE process 
with the text provided as a command-line argument.

The '$' should be quoted with '\' to avoid shell interpretation so '\$'. 
This can be done in the Slash function.

Another problem is that there is an extra layer of variable interpretation 
for $(variable) in SciTEBase::Execute that should be avoided for this case.

It would likely be better to reimplement using threads instead of processes 
as is done for Windows and MacOS.
