Allow cross platform search. about exploitdb HOT 9 CLOSED

thx

from exploitdb.

Im not sure how this would work out, using: csvpath="$(files.csv)".

${value} != $(value).
One is command execution, the other is defining a variable.

$(value) means it executes the command value.
As files.csv isn't a valid command, it would fail.

The idea of how its setup, is to change ${gitpath} to match the directory of where everything is located (including files.csv). This way searchsploit can work correctly, as well as self update.

Feel free to re-open with more information.

Mistake on my part. It should read:
csvpath="$(locate files.csv)"

What happens if you have multiple files called files.csv (e.g. another file outside of the git project) ?
This is possible, as its a highly common simple filename.

How about changing your filename to something else like exdb-files.csv.

Its possible to, however it still doesn't fix the issue of 'what happens if there's multiple files called the same thing' (changing the filename only lowers the chance of clash).

I agree my friend. I'm open to any suggestion that u might have.

Leaving it how it is?
