Hi, I;m having the same problem as described in:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.editors.geany.general/1071/match=grep
I've tried using the grep in:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9328
But I always get:
Process failed (Failed to execute helper program (No such file or directory)
In fact I always get this message no matter what program I put in to the preferences.
I'm on Windows XP Pro + SP3 and using version 0.14
Thanks,
Nik

Do you have a file called "gspawn-win32-helper.exe" in the installation directory of Geany? Or if you installed GTK globally, this file should exist where the GTK libs are installed. The above error message is caused when this file can't be found but it is needed for execution.

What exactly is your grep command set in the preferences dialog? Maybe you can attach your geany.conf?

I've tried lost of things, but currently it is set to:
grep_cmd=C:\work\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\grep.exe
And this works from the command line:
C:\Program Files\Geany>C:\work\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\grep.exe Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try `grep --help' for more information.
If it is set to:
grep_cmd=grep
Then I get the message:
grep -nHIF -- HandlerPut (in directory: M:\work\NikDev\s3DAV-0.7.1\src\org\carion\s3dav\webdav)
If it is set to anything else I get:
Process failed (Failed to execute helper program (No such file or directory)
Here if the whole of geany.conf

But, to be clear, this pop-up comes when if execute gspawn-win32-helper.exe from the command line, not from within Geany. I just wanted to make sure than gspawn-win32-helper was a real executable program. It may well be that running it this way is completely invalid and the error message is exactly what should happen.

Ah ok.

Yes, this program is called internally by GLib when Geany calls GLib's process spawning functions. It is _not_ intended to be run manually so the error message is quite correct.

Hi Enrico, Thanks for the clarification, but I still am unable to get Find if files to work in Geany.
If my grep_cmd is set to:
grep_cmd=grep
Then I get the message:
grep -nHIF -- <search term>(in directory: <directory>)
If it is set grep_cmd to anything else I get:
Process failed (Failed to execute helper program (No such file or directory)

Ok, I just got also this. Download the file http://www.uvena.de/tmp/gspawn-win32-helper-console.zip and extract the included executable in your Geany installation directory. This did the trick for me. If it helps, I'll include this file in the next Windows build.

I had problems printing the manual http://geany.uvena.de/0.14/index.html with firefox in "letter" size. It was dropping the last 5 to 12 characters on long lines. I finally printed a copy with all of the text by changing the "width" in the index.html file text:
body { background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #404040; margin-left: 0.4em; width: 60em; font-size: 90%; }
to:
body { background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #404040; margin-left: 0.4em; width: 50em; font-size: 90%; }
I am using Kubuntu 8.04 with "geany 0.13 (built on Feb 12 2008 with GTK 2.12.7, GLib 2.15.5)".
I am having a problem getting filetype templates working.
"Filetype templates are templates used as the basis of a new file. To use them, choose the 'New(with Templates)' menu item from the 'File' menu."
I created a "filetype_extensions.conf" file and put it in my "~/.geany" subdirectory.
filetype_extensions.conf: [Extensions] ActionScript=*.as;
I then created "filetype.as" file in my "~/.geany/templates" subdirectory.
filetype.as: {fileheader}
class {untitled} { static var app: {untitled};
function {untitled}() { }
static function main (mc) { app = new {untitled}(); } }
I then started geany and went to File->New(with templates) and looked for a source file entry for ActionScript. There was no entry for it there.
What did I overlook?
Thanks for any assistance you might give me.

Geany doesn't have support for custom filetypes yet, it may be a while.

This only works for recognised filenames - only one extension per filetype - e.g. filetypes.c. (Note: the new SVN custom template file feature matches all extensions associated with the filetype).

P.S. I'm guessing you replied to existing posts to get the list address - but the problem with this is email programs with threading make it look like these posts are in reply to the parent Find in Files thread, so less people will see your post if they collapse the whole thread.

The width value in the stylesheet was chosen out of thin air just to make the manual more readable in wide browser windows.
For printing, you might try just shutting off styles altogether (in your browser: "View --> Page Style --> No Style").

Then why not include the stylesheed only for the screen media? For more details:

Thanks Damián, this is exactly what I looked for. I changed the used stylesheet to apply the settings only for the screen media, the print media doesn't contain any special colouring or width settings (plain HTML). A quick test in Iceweasel (aka Firefox ;-)) seemed to work. Opening the page normally shows the known format, when using the print preview the stylesheet isn't used and so no width limiations.
