'kanso upload' handle multi-line strings in json?

[Mike Marino]

Hi all,

I understand that the JSON format doesn't allow for multi-line strings, but I believe in principal the kanso upload command should be able to properly parse these out and replace them with '\n'.  At the moment, this doesn't work, e.g.:

> cat tmp.json

 {

  "_id" : "test",

  "astring" : "test \

 +1"

}

> kanso upload -f tmp.json http://127.0.0.1:5984/test

Uploading docs to http://127.0.0.1:5984/test

Reading tmp.json

Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token 

    at Object.parse (native)

    at ParseStream.Native (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/kanso/lib/data-stream/ParseStream.js:78:26)

    at ParseStream._newToken (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/kanso/node_modules/parser/lib/Parser.js:105:24)

...

This also doesn't work without the "escape" new-line.  I was digging a little to see how difficult it would be to update the parser to properly remove new-lines.  Has anyone already done this?

Cheers,

Mike
