Hi Mosè, you are right. What about spaces? I know there isn't
a single file with spaces in its path on my TeX installation,
and I personally will never ever attempt to use such in my
TEXMFHOME or in the document repertory or sub-repertories.
Unfortunately I never informed myself about status of spaces
in file names with TeX, because they just don't belong to
my world.
Checking for spaces in the string before :<line number>: would
have avoided my real-life problem.
For concreteness the issue arose because often one uses labels
of the type eq:1, thm:3, etc... (indeed possibly AUCTeX prompts
user to insert such label) and my package was reporting them
in a log message of the type
"Undefined label <the label here>: rerun Latex."
Thus checking for space before would have avoided false-positive.
I fixed my real-life problem by simply avoiding adding an
extra colon.
People doing
\section{foo}\label{sec:1: (authorA)}
See \ref{sec:1: (authorA)}
will similarly get bitten by this problem.
In some parallel universe, maybe it happened before I cooked
up that example.
Bye,
Jean-François
