`ack --man` has invalid hyphens (`man ack` is fine) #505

Closed OnlineCop closed 5 years ago

OnlineCop commented 10 years ago

As reported in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ack-users/1BaK7iyffzQ, typing man ack works fine and short- and long options display hyphens. Typing ack --man outputs some character other than a hyphen (which limits searching for options with hyphens).

When you say "Typing ack --man outputs some character other than a hyphen", where are you referring to in the output? Where exactly in the output are you seeing not-a-hyphens where you expect hyphens?

This is addressed in ack 3.
