evernote-jeeves

This command-line Ruby script searches for a given search string S in all notes updated in the last N days, and displays all lines containing that search string, along with some useful note and folder context metadata.

Use Case

I use Evernote all day long at work, sometimes making a dozen notes in a day. I've developed a TODO habit, where I'll write something like this in a note:

TODO Follow-up with Bob regarding the FY15 budgets

Problem is, at the end of the day or week, I'll have to hunt back through all of my notes to find my TODOs. So I wrote a script to help.

Usage

Usage: jeeves.rb [options]
    -v, --verbose                    Run verbosely
    -s, --search s                   Search string to look for in notes.
    -i, --ignorecase                 Search case-insensitively
    -d, --days N                     Number of days in the past to search.
    -h, --help                       Show this message

Known Issues

Software not generally ready for distribution. Packaged as gem evernote-jeeves on rubygems, but I don't have installation worked out yet.
