Simple but annoying bug in command line tools

[Bastiaan Zapf <ba...@tu-clausthal.de>]

Hello everyone, i'm new to this list.

I'm currently trying to get an XML Database working (it will be used
for MPEG 7 Data). I decided for XIndice because of its xupdate
capabilities, mainly (In future, that database will be used via a web
interface that should be capable of updating and I figured it would be
a pain without some standard interface).

Here's the bug I have to report:

***
$ xindice lc -c db
ERROR : String index out of range: -11
***

This happens also under another Platform (Win2k). The only error in
this line is a missing slash ("/"). It took me about 3 hours to
realize. I would enjoy seeing the next version of the command line
tools giving me sane error messages.

Thanks (and congratulations to your great work - the rest of the
software is working fine ;) to any developers for listening,

	Basti
