multiline description
hi,
when I list an event with a multilined description field with the --tsv option I get the following output:
ftest1\ntest2\ntest3\ntest4\ntest5\ntest6\ntest7\ntest8\ntest9
however, when I add a similar event with gcalcli with the same as above in the description field, the line will be put exactly like that in the description.
I would like to be able to add a multilined description in an event. Am I doing something wrong?
kind regards
Jouk Hettema
I have to admit, it's not 100% clear to me what your issue is. Can you provide a sample session to show the issue you're trying to solve?
ok, I will try to explain it better.
when I add a new event to my google calendar via de web interface I can use multi lines in the description field.
When I list this event with gcalcli I see
When I list this event with gcalcli in tsv format I see
When I add an event to my google calendar with gcalcli:
When I lookup this event in de webgui of google calendar it makes one string of the description:
I would like to be able to use multiline descriptions if possible.
I think you just need to use a literal newline in that description instead of an escape sequence:
jcrowgey@tsuga:~$ gcalcli add --when "tomorrow" --allday --duration=1 --color=peacock --title "test event" --description="test1
> test2
> test3"
