LinuxQuestions.org - a bug in dialog merged with Slackware64 current?

Hello to all.
I recently went to Slackware Current and found out that some of my scripts, where I use intensive dialogs, did not work anymore.
After some correction attempts, there were mistakes in the code, I found instead that there is a tiny bug in the dialog program, only in the --file option.
I did try also the dialog --file from samples of dialog itslef, but also samples did'nt function.
(checklist9 and checklist9.txt. Here the code:

Code:

#! /bin/sh

# $Id: checklist9,v 1.8 2010/01/13 10:20:03 tom Exp $

# "checklist8" using --file



. ./setup-vars



. ./setup-tempfile



$DIALOG "$@" --file checklist9.txt 2>$tempfile



retval=$?



. ./report-tempfile

Here the text:

Code:

--help-button \

        --colors \

        --backtitle "\Z1No Such\Zn Organization" \

        --separate-output \

        --title "CHECKLIST BOX" \

        --checklist "Hi, this is a checklist box. You can use this to \n\

present a list of choices which can be turned on or \n\

off. If there are more items than can fit on the \n\

screen, the list will be scrolled. You can use the \n\

\Z4UP/DOWN\Zn arrow keys, the first letter of the choice as a \n\

Reinstalled the Slackware64-14.2 dialog package, my scripts have resumed working perfectly.
I would like to point out to both the dialogue authors and Patrick Volkerding.

Here's an example of my scripts:

Code:

if ! ls *.iso; then

  dialog --no-cancel --title "Nessun file" --msgbox "\n\nNon c'è nessun file immagine iso nella \

  \ndirectory corrente. Esco dal programma." 10 50

  exit

fi



export NUMERO="$(ls *.iso | wc -l)"

if [ "$NUMERO" -ge 20 ]; then

    dialog --title "Spostamento e copia dei files" \

    --inputbox "\n\n\n(Anno_Numero_cd_NomeNumero\)\n\nQuale anno vuoi montare?\n\n\n" \

    0 0 "1997" 2>ANNO;

    if [ $? -eq 1 ]; then exit; fi

fi

export LANNO="$(cat ANNO)"

rm ANNO



function lodialogo(){

echo '--title "Ferrari Renato Software - Programma VirtualIso"  --no-cancel --separate-output \

--checklist "\nBenvenuti nel programma per montare \

\ni dischi immagine iso\

\nChe cosa scegli?\n\n" 0 0 0 \' > IMGvirt.txt

echo \"Uscita\" \"Esce dal programma\" "ON" \\ >> IMGvirt.txt



for CICCIO in "$LANNO"*.iso; do

  CICCIA="$(echo $CICCIO | rev | cut -f1 -d\/ | rev)"

  echo \"$CICCIO\" \"$CICCIA\" "OFF" \ \\ >> IMGvirt.txt ;

done

echo \"Tutti\" \"Tutte le immagini iso\" "OFF" >> IMGvirt.txt

dialog --file IMGvirt.txt 2>POPA

export DISCO="$(cat POPA)"

rm -f POPA

if [ `echo "$DISCO" | grep "Uscita"` ]; then

  mipulisco

  exit; 

fi

}



function mipulisco(){

rm IMGvirt.txt &>/dev/null;  

for POPA in /mnt/minihd2/dischiimg/*; do 

  sudo umount $POPA &>/dev/null; 

done

rmdir /mnt/minihd2/dischiimg/*  &>/dev/null

}



lodialogo

MICONTO=1

if echo "$DISCO" | grep "Tutti"; then export DISCO="$(ls -1 "$LANNO"*.iso)"; fi 

for CONTO in `echo "$DISCO" | cat`; do  

  export CONTA="$(echo "$CONTO" | rev | cut -f2- -d\. | rev)";

  mkdir -p /mnt/minihd2/dischiimg/"$MICONTO""_""$CONTA" &>/dev/null;

  sudo mount -o,loop "$CONTO" /mnt/minihd2/dischiimg/"$MICONTO""_""$CONTA" &>/dev/null;

  MICONTO=$((MICONTO+1));

done

kfmclient openProfile filemanagement /mnt/minihd2/dischiimg

where IMGvirt.txt is a file generate from script itself and
where dialog --file IMGvirt.txt 2>POPA is the command that don't funcion.
All other flags of dialog haven't bugs
