Hello Hannah,

Thanks for your reply.

Terrific, there is no syntax for such thing in ./add_members --help!!!

This syntax is working: echo '"firstname lastname" <user@domain.example>' | ./add_members -r - testlist2

Could you please tell what syntax should I use if I have file with the list of users, like following: firstname1 lastname1 <user1@domain.com> firstname2 lastname2 <user2@domain.com> ..................

Best Regards, Leon Kolchinsky

Hello Again,

Is it true that there is no way to add member to the list with his full name from the command line?

I know that the below syntax won't work: ./add_members -r - "firstname1 lastname1" <user1@domain.com> somelistname

There're a few things wrong with that command line.

First, you'd probably have to quote the special characters, ", <, and >.

Second, with "-r -" you specify that add_members will read the addresses of the members to add from standard input.

I.e. you could try something like echo '"firstname lastname" <user@domain.example>' | add_members -r - listname

[...]

Kind regards,

Hannah.
