From 0269f968b7effea8a4f61f1fb0ac7e9386a9d90c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Moy Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 14:09:07 +0200 Subject: log -L: improve error message on malformed argument 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).
