Text line 1 → task, rest → note
Just been asked about converting a piece of text to an action (first line as task, rest as note).
If I have understood the question properly, then the bare bones might look something like this: [CODE]property pstrSample : "This is the title, and here is the note, possibly continuing over various lines etc" on run MakeTask(pstrSample) end run on MakeTask(strText) set lstLines to paragraphs of strText if lstLines ≠ {} then if (length of lstLines) > 1 then set {dlm, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, linefeed} set strNote to (items 2 thru -1 of lstLines) as text set my text item delimiters to dlm else set strNote to "" end if tell application id "OFOC" tell default document to make new inbox task with properties {name:item 1 of lstLines, note:strNote} end tell end if end MakeTask[/CODE] |
Tho the shell is arguably cleaner and easier to follow than Applescript string handling:
[CODE]property pstrSample : "This is the SECOND title, and here is the SECOND note, possibly continuing over various lines etc" on run MakeTask2(pstrSample) end run on MakeTask2(strText) set str to quoted form of strText set strTask to do shell script "echo " & str & " | head -n 1" set strNote to do shell script "echo " & str & " | tail -n +2" tell application id "OFOC" tell default document to make new inbox task with properties {name:strTask, note:strNote} end tell end MakeTask2[/CODE] |
It turns out that the use case is clipboard → action + note,
So something like: [CODE]on run try set strText to (the clipboard) as text on error return end try MakeTask(strText) end run on MakeTask(strText) set lstLines to paragraphs of strText if lstLines ≠ {} then if (length of lstLines) > 1 then set {dlm, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, linefeed} set strNote to (items 2 thru -1 of lstLines) as text set my text item delimiters to dlm else set strNote to "" end if tell application id "OFOC" tell default document to make new inbox task with properties {name:item 1 of lstLines, note:strNote} end tell end if end MakeTask[/CODE] |
