[/settings/external scripts/alias] check_wiki = CheckFiles path=O:\XX\YY pattern=index.html max-dir-depth=2 warn=<0 crit=<0 filter=creation<-25h
everithing works greate. but wenn i try to add a 2. filter statement like:
[/settings/external scripts/alias] check_wiki2 = CheckFiles path=O:\XX\YY pattern=index.html max-dir-depth=2 warn=<0 crit=<0 "filter=creation<-25h AND size>10k"
i get this error:
>>>check_wiki2 d rvice\NSClient++.cpp:923 Injecting: check_wiki2... l kExternalScripts.cpp:229 Arguments: path=O:\wiki\itdok pattern=index.html max -dir-depth=2 warn=<0 crit=<0 "filter=creation<-25h AND size>10k" d rvice\NSClient++.cpp:923 Injecting: checkfiles... d rvice\NSClient++.cpp:947 Result checkfiles: WARNING d rvice\NSClient++.cpp:947 Result check_wiki2: WARNING l ce\simple_client.hpp:80 WARNING:Unknown argument: "filter

The problem is parsing...
There are two parsers for command lines:
- The new "modern" escaped one.
- The old split string one.
The benefit of the new one is it can parse the following:
foo=bar "bar \" bar "
Where the old one could not.
The "problem" here though is that paths contain \ meaning your expression will fail. What happens when it fails is that it will use the fall-back old parsing system which doesn't support ":s.
So the solution is to switch to the new format meaning you have to replace \ with
to escape them.I have in the next build though improved the old syntax to support some basic forms of "...
So upgrading should also solve your problem (but the better solution is to start escaping your \:s...
