Export-TodoTxt does not always write to new line in script #23

bubonicfred commented 3 years ago

I have a script that checks a particular file for todos, sometimes (I believe when the first item in this is on line 1) Export-TodoTxt does not write to a new line. I realise I can fix this in my own script, but have opted to attempt to fix it in PsTodoTxt, using `n to insert newline, and the -NoNewLine parameter to clear any new line the AddContent cmdlet seems to put in by itself. The below seems to work, but I am by no means great at powershell so would like a more experienced opinion. "`n$Todo" | ConvertFrom-TodoTxt | Add-Content -Path $Path -Encoding UTF8 -NoNewLine I have no idea if that's the best approach, but IMO the Export-TodoTxt should be sanitising the input for newlines.

@bubonicfred Thanks for reporting this.

Can I ask you to give me some examples (code / todo) so I'm clear on it and can reproduce this? I think I understand what you mean. Just want to be clear.
