duplicate contexts or projects about todo.txt-cli HOT 7 CLOSED

I've just written an automated test to investigate. This is the content of todo.txt, and it seems to be working as expected; listproj just outputs +flowers and +roses once.

+roses +flowers
+roses and only +flowers
(B) +roses prioritized +flowers
(B) 2024-02-21 +roses prioritized +flowers
x 2024-02-21 2024-02-19 +roses done +flowers
+roses +flowers at the front
  +roses +flowers at the front with leading space
my +flowers are +roses in the middle
at the back pick the +roses +flowers
at the back with trailing space +flowers +roses 

Have I misunderstood the problem?

works fine in termux original issue was on wsl2

@tune007 That smells like a line-ending issue. Could it be that the todo.txt on Windows uses CR-LF line endings? The Unix toolchain of todo.sh would then process both +roses (when followed by whitespace) and +roses␍ (trailing CR; when at the end of the line) separately.

You can check (on WSL) with either $ file path/to/todo.txt or $ hd path/to/todo.txt (the latter will show 0d 0a at the end of each line if it's CR-LF).

The todo.txt file needs to use Unix (LF) line endings for todo.sh; most Windows tools handle that as well.

Alright, dos2unix in a wrapper sounds like a good solution. I'm closing this issue then. Have fun with todo.txt!

Hello Eugene,
Gina's original todo.txt app for Android has been discontinued after incompatible changes in the Dropbox API; nobody signed up to update the app's code. Since then, I've been using Simpletask (Nextcloud version, but before that existed I also used the cloudless variant where you had to set up the sync through another app). There have been very few updates, and just this month the author has made his GitHub repo read-only (but the app still works right now; just don't expect any more updates).
A few more alternatives are listed on the todotxt.org page.
