GetComponents chokes on thorn list using DOS EOL characters in !DEFINEs

Issue #482 closed
Roland Haas created an issue

the attached file uses DOS EOL conventions (ie. \r\n instead of the Unix typical \n) gives error messages:

[rhaas3@phys44230 rhaas3]$ ./GetComponents --root dos --parallel cactus.th
Unsuccessful stat on filename containing newline at ./GetComponents line 663.

This is due to a \r which becomes part of the ARRANGEMENTS !DEFINE.

A simple solution might be for GetComponents to remove whitespace from end of input lines via a:

diff --git a/GetComponents b/GetComponents
index 133487e..5e801f3 100755
--- a/GetComponents
+++ b/GetComponents
@@ -305,6 +305,9 @@ sub parse_list {
         my @lines = <$COMPONENT_LIST>;
         close($COMPONENT_LIST);

+        # convert CRNL and CR to newline (for lists generated by windows and macs)
+        map s/(\r\n|\r)/\n/gm, @lines;
+
         # handle includes
         my $i = -1;
         foreach my $line (@lines) {

Note that his renders the CRtoNL regex on $file below useless (I am also not sure to what extent we need $orig_file to have the native EOL character).

    I agree, \r are a problem if they are only removed after the defines are handled. Please test the attached patch.

    I was able to reproduce the problem and confirm that the patch fixes it. I have not seen any side effects when checking out non-dos thornlists.
