Sign added after each task

[arnauldb]

Hello,

On my conky (Linux) I have a sign added after each task:

I don't understand why and where it comes from...

Thank you for any help.

It could be CR-LF (i.e. Windows-style) line endings; a text editor (e.g. in Vim :setlocal fileformat?) should be able to tell you, or use $ file ~/todo/todo.xt and watch for with CRLF line terminators.

The todo.sh utility works with LF (Unix) line endings; other clients may create tasks with other line endings, but this often can be configured (e.g. in the Simpletask Android app).

Thanks a lot! You were right. My todo.txt is synchronized with my phone (Simpletask app) and in the Simpletask app in settings, there is an option to have Windows-style line endings. Disabling this setting solved the problem.

Ah, great! I'm closing this issue then.
