Could you post the code (or a link to it)? Sound useful :-)

Ahh, that explains it. My newbie mistake number 1 ;-)

True, and because filenames with an embedded colon as part of the name
are just as rare for me as those with embedded whitespace, here's a
fixed version that will correctly open a filename with a colon inside
(I also fixed the \s mistake):
# F11
# Open the file named at the cursor
define open_file_at_cursor
{
   name_start = search( "\\s|^", $cursor , "regex","backward" )
   name_end   = search( "[\\s\\n]", $cursor , "regex" )
   filename = get_range( name_start, name_end )
   filename = replace_in_string( filename , "^\\s" , "" , "regex" , "copy" )
   filename = replace_in_string( filename , ":.*$"   , "" , "regex" , "copy" )
   if (name_start == name_end ) 
   {
      dialog( "No string under cursor!", "OK" )
   }
   else
   {
      open( filename )
   }
}

The reason I replace ":.*$" is that grep (at least the version I use)
doesn't leave a space between the colon and the quoted line, so unless
it starts with a whitespace, I would have any characters after the
colon. So I simply get rid the whole lot :-)
