dirDetails error!

Question

There is a bug in UnixFileParser.java;
If the raw string is "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 7 Jul 18 1999 lib -> usr/lib", the Parser will throw an NumberFormatException at line 191. The cause is that the file name has more than one word. In this case, maybe the file name returned is also incorrect even if no exception is thrown.

Answer 1

Hi

Thanks for reporting this - what OS is this for? Could you post a listing of a directory we could test against?
