<p dir="auto">But one question that applies to both it and any script is how to know where the digits in the <code>version.txt</code> split, past contents have been <code>3211</code>. So without human intervention how will a script/program know if it is 3.21.1 (correct) or 3.2.11 (incorrect) or something else?</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The "script" I had in mind is just a <code>sed</code> one-liner, based on Neil's own suggestion from a while back:</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">$ sed -e "s/(.)(.)(.)/\1.\2.\3/" < ~/merc/scintilla/version.txt<br>
<a href="https://groups.google.com/g/scintilla-interest/c/6Ertem36m_M/m/kvKhJQReAQAJ" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/g/scintilla-interest/c/6Ertem36m_M/m/kvKhJQReAQAJ</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Of course this assumes a single-digit major and minor number; the micro version can be any length.<br>
Dealing with double-digit major/minor increments might be unavoidable, but it would most likely be a rare occurrence.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">If it needs human intervention it can't be runtime or makefile or configure, it could only be at update-scintilla.sh time.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I wouldn't suggest changing <code>update-scintilla.sh</code> for such a trivial feature. If the preference is to keep <code>config.h</code> generation as it is — and assuming 5.1.xx doesn't jump to 5.10.xx anytime soon — the least intrusive solution might look something like this:</p>
