 Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2003 7:50 pm Post subject: A bash script to keep a list of homework todo |
 |
|
What follows is a solution which i designed for myself to keep a list of
homework i should do for school, Placed under documentation because
thats the best catagory i could find for it
First:
Then run the XCalendar program, this will create a ~/Calendar directory, now you can click on some day and write for example:
| Code: |
() Math: read page 20 in mathbook
|
and when you're done doing that reaplace it with
| Code: |
(X) Math: read page 20 in mathbook
|
Now i made a script which parses all that. it's kinda buggy, and has many TODO's but i just want to shere it here because i certanly can find use for it
| Code: |
#! /bin/bash
# XCTFP -X Calendar Text File Parser - Parses files that X Calendar creates and makes a todo list based on them

#todo: add code that deletes the full path from the output, cut should do
#todo: add code that counts every todo list, picks the largest one and prints: Thing to do next *biglist*
#todo: arrange the lists in alphabetical order (can this even be done?) - maybe with 'sort'
#todo: add events as well, like meetings and sutch and seperate them from the studying
#todo: add list for upcomming tests
#variables
calendar="/home/jeedo/Calendar" #path to calendar files
finish="(X)" #sets what set of character are used to mark something as finished
remain="()" #sets what set of character are used to mark something as remaining
#events="(-)" #things that will happen in the nearby future
#eventsf="(Y)"
echo Finished: `grep "${finish}" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
grep "${finish}" ${calendar}/xc* #add some code here that cuts out these ugly paths
echo
echo Remaining: `grep "${remain}" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
grep "${remain}" ${calendar}/xc* #| cut -d 'x' -f2 #add some code here that cuts out these ugly paths
echo
echo By courses: #space here because the output from wc begins with a \t
#this is a list of all the things i do at school, Stærðfræði is for example Math, replace or delete lines to fit your own language
echo Alma: `grep "${finish} Alma" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` / `grep "${remain} Alma" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
echo Danska: `grep "${finish} Danska" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` / `grep "${remain} Danska" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
echo Félagsfræði: `grep "${finish} Félagsfræði" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` / `grep "${remain} Félagsfræði" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
echo Íslenska: `grep "${finish} Íslenska" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` / `grep "${remain} Íslenska" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
echo Íþróttir: `grep "${finish} Íþróttir" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` / `grep "${remain} Íþróttir" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
echo Lífsleikni: `grep "${finish} Lífsleikni" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` / `grep "${remain} Lífsleikni" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
echo Stærðfræði: `grep "${finish} Stærðfræði" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` / `grep "${remain} Stærðfræði" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
echo Þýska: `grep "${finish} Þýska" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` / `grep "${remain} Þýska" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`
#this counts done/remaining not done/done+remaining like it should, fix it , make a call to bc like: echo "1+1" | bc -l
echo
#echo "`grep "${finish} Þýska" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`+`grep "${remain} Þýska" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l`" | bc -L
#echo Total: `grep "(" ${calendar}/xc* | grep ")" | wc -l` #adda ( og ) í eitt með sviga
echo Total: `grep "[(-)]" ${calendar}/xc* | wc -l` #seems to be working 100% but retain the above line in case of trauble
echo Script Length: `grep -v "^#" ${calendar}/todo | grep -v "^$" | wc -l` lines ";" Comments: `grep "^#" ${calendar}/todo | wc -l` lines
|
And finally here is some example output

| I would use Perl to do this job. It will be much faster (but this is probably not a concern). The code would be much cleaner too. If you don't know Perl, that is a problem but this is a perfect project to use to start to learn how to use it. |

yeah come on, we all know python is the best for this situation. I mean a todo list and tuples are like Peanut butter and jelly.

Let me guess, you worked on this script instead of doing your homework  It's ok, I'd do the same thing.

I made a similar thing in perl, to run through apache...it's quite usefull for checking what I need to do when I'm not home. though, I found xpad to be far quicker
