Duplictae entry in csv not reported correctly about ebusd HOT 3 CLOSED

whats so difficult about loooking at line 5 of the definitions as reported? every message has an id field, so this would be a good start to check. and the name+circuit need to be unique, which should be obvious as well.
anyway, if you shared the definitions, it would be easy to help. this way it isn't.

If you KNOW that the 5 indicates the line, it's easier. of course. But an attitude about creating meaningful error messages should be planted in any coder's heart. What's so difficult in changing the code to printing "duplicate ID "?

from ebusd.

colon followed by line number does not really seem unusual at all to me - basically nearly every code editor does it this way, so for a coder not a problem at all.

already the case, at least according to your own comment above:
