Problem with calendar.lua in ubuntu 12.04 / 14.04

[nsarfati]

Hello! I'm using the calendar.lua in ubuntu 14.04 and i have a issue when the script try to do the sed in the output of /usr/bin/cal for hightlight the current day, take a look to this images:

But when the day is not selected:

This is the sed that tries to do:

/usr/bin/cal | sed -r -e "s/(^| )(27)($| )/\1<b><span foreground=\"#000000\" background=\"#aaaaaa\">\2<\/span><\/b>\3/"

Thank you!

I can fix the problem doing this sed previously:

sed -r -e "s/_\\x08//g"

You mean modifying the line like this?

/usr/bin/cal | sed -r -e "s/_\\x08//g" | sed -r -e "s/(^| )(27)($| )/\1<b><span foreground=\"#000000\" background=\"#aaaaaa\">\2<\/span><\/b>\3/"

The widget can take custom cal calls.

Try with

lain.widgets.calendar:attach(mytextclock, {cal = '/usr/bin/cal | sed -r -e "s/_\\x08//g"'})
