Trying to run the .sh file does throw up some errors as below:

At least I know how to test it now!

My guess is that you may have saved this from TextEdit, which is fine, but TextEdit can save in two different formats:
[LIST=1][*]Plain text[*]Rich Text (RTF)[/LIST]
Looks like you have saved it as an RTF file, which is legible to humans but not to command shells.

The trick is to make a fresh [B]plain text[/B] copy,
[INDENT]TextEdit > Format > Make Plain Text ⌘⇧T[/INDENT]
and then use the [I]chmod +x[/I] command again to make it executable.

Good luck !

I'm sorry, this is taking up a lot of your time.
I saved the file as plain text via Word.
I'm still getting an error message:

I think we have probably moved beyond OmniFocus issues to the question of how much one wants to learn about Terminal.app and the shell here.

It may be a bit ambitious to use shell scripts like this when the basics are still a bit unfamiliar. Probably best to start with some tutorial material - there's plenty on the web.

My first guess is that you may be saving from Word (possibly not first choice for shell script editing and testing) with the wrong kind of line-endings (Bash expects LF), but I'm afraid I may not have time to get into the forensics of that :-)

Good luck !

Okay, here's a simple, no-fuss approach.

Select the text of the script from the web page. Do Edit->Copy.

Go to the Terminal app. Type

cat > foo
press the Enter key
do Edit->Paste (all of the selected text should appear)
press the Enter key
press the control key and then without releasing it, press the d key.

You should get the shell prompt back at this point.
Now type

chmod +x foo
press the Enter key

Shell prompt again. At this point, feel free to use the Finder to rename the file.

That seems to have done the trick, thanks.
All I need to do now is filter out the tasks I want to record, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

I have the script working, the only problem now is that I can't trigger it from Hazel. If I drag the .sh file to Terminal & run it, the whole thing works fine, creating the DayOne & home folder items as expected. I have left the setup in Hazel as first described in Rob's article, I have added a prompt for a certain time, but either way nothing happens from Hazel.
Any ideas?

Bill, if you check all the steps that were mentioned here it should work. I believe you also mentioned the script didn't work when pasted in the internal option of Hazel. That sounds like there might be a problem with your Hazel.

Rob, a question if I may.

The current entries look like this.
## Wei/Scheduler[:](omnifocus:///task/kIIJ0CzGJa1)
- Afspraak Andries aanpassen @done(17:52)

I would like to have a little less info in the entry like:
- Afspraak Andries aanpassen @done(17:52)

I'm willing to give editing the script a try but is possible or does it need al the information to function at all?

You can certainly edit the output – simply adjust the [I]print[/I] statements in:
[CODE]{
if (prj!=$5) {prj=$5;
if (prj!="") {print ("\n" prj_prfx prj "[:](omnifocus:///task/" $2 ")") >> "tmp_pretty.txt" }
else {print ("\nInbox[:](omnifocus:///task/" $1 ")") >> "tmp_pretty.txt"}
}
if ($6!=prj) {print ("- " $6 " @done(" $4 ")") >> "tmp_pretty.txt" }
else {{print "- *Project completed* @done(" $4 ")" >> "tmp_pretty.txt" }}
}[/CODE]

[I]$6[/I] contains the task and [I]$4[/I] contains the date.

You could reduce it right down to something like:

[CODE]{
print ("- " $6 " @done(" $4 ")") >> "tmp_pretty.txt"
}[/CODE]

veel geluk !
