A shell-script example of filtering by folder. (In this case for projects and tasks in folders with names containing the string "writ")

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#OFOC=$(osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to get id of application file id "OFOC"')
OFOC="com.omnigroup.OmniFocus" # For Appstore-purchased variant use (slower) line above instead
echo "SAMPLE LISTING:"
sqlite3 $HOME/Library/Caches/$OFOC/OmniFocusDatabase2 '
SELECT f.name, p.name,c.name, tt.name 
FROM (((task t left join projectinfo pi on t.containingprojectinfo=pi.pk) tt 
left join task p on tt.task=p.persistentIdentifier) 
left join context c on tt.context = c.persistentIdentifier) 
left join folder f on tt.folder=f.persistentIdentifier
WHERE tt.dateCompleted is null and f.name like "%writ%"
ORDER BY f.name, p.name, c.name'| awk '
BEGIN {FS="\|"; fldr=0; prj=0; ctx=0;}
{
	# Whenever the value of col. 1 changes, 
	# write it out as a FOLDER header,
	if (fldr!=$1){fldr=$1; if (length(fldr) < 1) {print "\n(No folder)"} 
	else {print "\n[Folder: " toupper(fldr) "]"}};
		
	# and whenever the value of col. 2 changes, 
	# write it out as a PROJECT header.
	if (prj!=$2){prj=$2; if (length(prj) < 1) {print "\n\t(INBOX)"} 
	else {print "\n\t" toupper(prj)}};
	
	# Whenever the value of col. 3 changes, 
	# write it out as a [CONTEXT] sub-header.
	if (ctx!=$3){ctx=$3; if (length(ctx) > 0) {print "\t[" ctx "]"}};
		
	# and whenever col 4. contains sth other than the project name, 
	# write it out as a • TASK.
	if (length($4) > 0 && $4!=$2) {print "\t• " $4}
}'
