Custom Table Limitations? Tue Jul 30, 2024 9:23 am • by Wseries
Is there a limitation to the number of rows allowed in a Custom Table attribute?

In an effort to consolidate several dozen rules into one I've started using a custom table attribute from file. However in the Hazel interface appears to only display the first 64 lines. The file has 428 lines. Thus my rule wasn't matching to the file used to test the rule.

Also of concern is that Hazel is crashing when clicking the "Trim Blank Characters" option is clicked.

There shouldn't be any limitation beyond memory. Is it exactly 64 lines? Also, can you send me the crash dump?

Yes because as I've just realised after viewing the Hazel log (which I should have done prior to posting this thread, sorry) the entry on line 65 contained a comma.

Code: Select all
Error reading table from file <path_to_file> at row 65. Invalid column count: 3 - Expecting 2

I tried using a tab for the delimiter but it didn't like that either as the App became unresponsive to clicks after that. So I removed the errant commas and switched back the default delimiter and it appears to be working fine now. No crashing when clicking 'trim blank characters" either.

So my question now is it possible to escape commas appearing in entries or should I consider using a different delimiter?

Done, sent to your support email.
