I have a few of these errors. Am I using a character that I'm supposed to escape or something? If so, which one?

in bash how do you split a long line

chatgpt

In Bash, you can split a long line by using the backslash (\) character at the end of a line to indicate that the
command continues on the next line. Alternatively, you can use parentheses () or curly braces {} to group commands
together and split them onto multiple lines.

After merging https://github.com/0xacx/chatGPT-shell-cli/pull/100, this should work properly now.

$ ./chatgpt.sh 
Welcome to chatgpt. You can quit with 'exit' or 'q'.

Enter a prompt:
in bash how do you split a long line?

chatgpt 

  To split a long line in Bash, you can use the backslash ("\") character at  
  the end of the line to indicate that the line continues on the next line.   
  For example:                                                                

    echo "This is a very long \                                               
    line that I want to split \                                               
    into multiple lines"                                                      

  Alternatively, you can use parentheses to group multiple lines together,    
  like this:                                                                  

    echo "This is a very long" \                                              
         "line that I want to split" \                                        
         "into multiple lines"                                                

  Both of these methods will result in the same output:                       

    This is a very long line that I want to split into multiple lines

@JackDinn Let me know if it works for you!

I will do once it comes through to the arch user repo. Im currently using this:-

I dont really want to mess around with uninstalling this and then using your git, but i will let you know.

Many thx :)

[0xacx]

@Zeioth is the maintainer of the AUR package. In my understanding since the package references the git repo directly, changes should be immediately available, but I haven't confirmed this.

[JackDinn]

well thats kinda what i always thought about the AUR's that point to git but I'm never sure.

The AUR says it was last updated 2023-03-31 11:10 (UTC) so ... i don't know. Im sure i could just download your code and use it directly just to test, but iv got some of my own code that is using it from the AUR binary. I don't want to get in a muddle and mess up what iv got.

[0xacx]

I don't think you need to download the code. If you just reinstalled with paru -S chatgpt-shell-cli I think it should work 🤞 The last updated timestamp on AUR probably refers to the changes made in the AUR file itself. But yes, you know your setup better. I am just curious if the changes are available immediately in the AUR.

[Zeioth]

Try also chatgpt-shell-cli-git.That one is 1:1 with this repo.

[JackDinn]

No, as far as i can tell it still does that same. I have removed chatgpt-shell-cli-git and installed chatgpt-shell-cli ver 0.2.2

But unfortunately it still does exactly the same

Does your not do the same if you use the exact same prompts?

1st prompt :- "in bash how do you split a long line" 2nd prompt :- "demonstrate"

Everything else works fine for me but these two particular prompts throw this error.

[0xacx]

It works fine for me. I also have installed glow for markdown rendering, so the formatting and indentation you see is from glow, but this shouldn't affect the escaping of backslash.

chatgpt 

  In bash, you can split a long line by using the backslash "\" character at  
  the end of each line to indicate that the command continues on the next     
  line. For example:                                                          

    $ echo "This is a very long\                                              
    > line that I want to split\                                              
    > into multiple lines\                                                    
    > using the backslash character."                                         

  This will output:                                                           

    This is a very long line that I want to split into multiple lines using   
  the backslash character.                                                    

Enter a prompt:
demonstrate

chatgpt 

  Sure! Here's an example of splitting a long command into multiple lines     
  using the backslash character:                                              

    $ git commit -m "This is a very long commit message that I want \         
    to split into multiple lines for better readability. \                    
    I can use the backslash character at the end of each line \               
    to indicate that the command continues on the next line."                 

  This will commit the changes with the specified commit message, which is    
  split across multiple lines for better readability. Note that when you press
  Enter after the backslash character, there should be no whitespace after the
  backslash character, otherwise it will not work.                            

Enter a prompt:
give me an example with curl

chatgpt 

  Sure! Here's an example of splitting a long URL into multiple lines using   
  the backslash character with curl:                                          

    $ curl -X GET \                                                           
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \                                   
      -H "Authorization: Bearer token" \                                      
      "https://api.example.com/endpoint?param1=value1&param2=value2"          

  In this example, the curl command is making a GET request to an API endpoint
  with headers and query parameters. The URL is split across multiple lines   
  using the backslash character for better readability. Note that each line   
  after the first starts with a whitespace character, which is optional but   
  can make the command easier to read.

well i pass. I have glow as well ^^

I did notice there is no chatgpt --version ?

Its not important to me as it was just something i stumbled across when i was testing. It's not something i'd ever come across again (i hope). I use it every day without any problems, so it really makes no sense to me, sorry :(

[0xacx]

No there is no --version. So far all changes are backwards compatible, meaning we never broke something to add something new. What you get from the repo is always the latest version. Adding versioning would mean that it would require some version and release management and I think this is really not worth it for a simple one file script. But if in the future we need to add breaking changes then we would have to use versions to differentiate.

[JackDinn]

Unless it has something to do with the fact that I use FISH, I can't see how. Other than that, I would have to use your open code, look at the JSON as it's created, and figure out what's going on before it's attempted to be sent. But I'm busy with stuff :).

[JackDinn]

Ok, it was making me scratch my head. I removed all versions (the CLI, CLI- Git, and the Git folder where I had it cloned). Basically, I removed every remnant of it. I rebooted the system and reinstalled ChatGPT-Shell-CLI from the AUR, and it's working! :woozy_face:

Don't ask, but it looks like it was a "me" problem.

Thx for your help :smile:
