Oops. @JeffSchaller, you may be interested in the Meta question I've just posted:

Q: Should commonly posted duplicate homework questions be flagged (or filtered) as spam?

I speak in particular reference to this question from today: Removing directory using relative pathnames Which is an exact duplicate (in different words) of the same homework question from a different user posted yesterday: Removing a directory using relative pathname The same question wa...

@JdeBP, you will be interested as well.

Jeff Schaller

@Wildcard thanks! I'm of a mind to just downvote to oblivion; not opposed to closing as a clear homework question, since these have repeated.

@Archemar ProTip(tm): avoid a useless use of cat by changing this to <file while read domain ip

@strugee Yes I know about UUOC, I find first form more readable, especially if lengthy loop, I can see file being processed.

Archemar

You might be right, I not english native, just be trying to learn english for forty-one year.

Are questions about rofi and dmenu on topic?

I might as well just post my question here in the meantime.
I was using dmenu for some time but it's ugly so I switched to "rofi -dmenu", and there is an issue that I'm really annoyed about. The problem is with the order of matching. Let's say I have the following input piped into each one (with case-insensitive setting):

Terminal
Eclipse

And let's say I type "e". In dmenu, it matches Eclipse, however in rofi, it matches Terminal.

I really like how it matches it in dmenu, and I'm searching for a way to make rofi match like dmenu.
