It actually only strips the trailing newline. Any newlines in the middle of the file are fine. So for example: $ cat third.txt Third from file. With multiple lines. $ fossil ticket change 64f086ad5be82495327100a66dcdee24432e2b79 +comment " $(cat third.txt)" ticket add succeeded for 64f086ad5be82495327100a66dcdee24432e2b79 Will work, as long as that embedded newline (maybe it's actually a carriage-return) is in there. > To get the comment text imported verbatim, i suspect that the ticket > command needs to support a -M FILENAME option to import a comment, > like checkin does. And this certainly would be a friendlier option. :-) Andy -- TAI64 timestamp: 400000005a4af1ee _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
