Hishtory export-json provide wierd output

[jmauro]

Hello,

I am using the export to JSON feature (Which is great BTW) but I can see weird output and I don't know to understand it, let me show you:

$ # hishtory export-json | grep "#1"
{"command":"#1730977871","current_working_directory":"Unknown","custom_columns":null,"end_time":"2025-01-07T01:22:41.370339162Z","exit_code":0,"home_directory":"/root","hostname":"da06a72ec857","local_username":"root","start_time":"2025-01-07T01:22:41.369339162Z"}
...

And I can find 260 lines with this pattern, and I don't have any clue why.

Kind regards,
JM

Thanks for reporting this! There is some weirdness that I have found with bash history files where it contains entries like this that show up when importing the existing history. It seems like the regex I had wasn't quite permissive enough, so I updated it in #283 to make sure we don't import entries like this in the future.

I'm hesitant to automatically delete existing entries, but this will make sure this doesn't happen for future entries. If you'd like to manually delete these, you can use hishtory redact to do so.
