Re: * [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf :: "]] does not work.

[Josef Atmin <jatmin@web.de>]

Dear briangpowell,

there is definitely a space in the third line.

Also, it does not simply produce no output, it says "No link found".

Plus, when I change it to a numbered list starting with 1., 2., 3. .... it works.

I have also run this with my .emacs file disabled, so it cannot be my
option settings.

Are you sure you use the same emacs and org-mode version as I do?
I use
  emacs    46.1
  emacs24  24.5+1-6+b1
  org-mode 8.3.3-3
  
What else could it be that makes our systems behave differently?

Best regards,

Josef.
