Hello Shortcuts community!
I want to obtain a list of my notes, and well, update them, delete them if needed, and so on. These are simple actions that I can already do.
For this, I saw that shortcuts was pretty simple, and I could get what I wanted and pipe it through the terminal. However, even though I'm a programmer, there's a lot that I'm missing since I cannot pipe anything to the terminal.
I made a simple shortcut to give me some text, and I could obtain it via -shortcuts run "Example" | cat-, which well, gave me the output but with a %. aaa**%**
Now, I guess this works, the important thing is for me to obtain something from shortcuts so that I can configure simple things like obtaining a note, a mail, run some javascript in the browser and so on while obtaining some output via the terminal.
So, I configured something like this:
While I do get a dictionary (only in the shortcuts app, not in the terminal) like:
{ "Title": "Some title" }
And actually a list of them, I don't have them in an array that I would have for my command. And for some reason I've only been able to obtain either the name or the body.
Now, I put them into a text with get text from Repeated results, but I don't think I have a valid Dictionary (JSON) array that I can use, since the terminal doesn't obtain nothing.
So far I've tried:
echo $(shortcuts run "Find Notes")
echo $(shortcuts run "Find Notes" --output-type public.utf8-plain-text -o -)
shortcuts run "Find Notes" | xargs
I wonder what am I missing. I'm not creating the array of dictionaries like I'd like, nor outputting it.
On the other hand, I have some AppleScripts that work, however, given that I cannot find munch information about the support status of AppleScript, I though to update to Shortcuts which is obtaining updates, and then I'm trying to do this simple example on shortcuts.
Thanks for taking a look!
