My goal is to get a/all list/s out of the mycroft skill "List-Manager" in formated and splitted txt-files to transfer them to my Nextcloud-Notes-Skill. Sure, Hey Google and Alexa are the easiest options but I don't like them.
The bash-script I wrote does this work (formatting and splitting) in the terminal.
This is the textfile the mycroft skill uses...
{"Remind me": ["remind_item_1", "remind_item_2"], "shopping": ["mate", "book", "keyboard", "bavarian beer"]}
and I get these two textfiles
Name of the first textfile: Remind me
- [ ] remind_item_1
- [ ] remind_item_2
Name of the second textfile: shopping
- [ ] mate
- [ ] book
- [ ] keyboard
- [ ] bavarian beer
Before we go to the code below here somme infos. First, I suspect there is a much better way to get to the same result. I'm a selfmade "something like a programmer" and certainly not a pro and I don't want to offend anyone when I call myself a programmer. Second, I want to do it with on-board resources. Third, I like to learn new things and I never have done bash-scripting.
The monitoring of the file which changed does "incron". Every time I change the list incron starts a script:
/opt/mycroft/skills/list-manager.lb803/data.json IN_MODIFY /bin/bash /home/pi/my_directory/notes_skill.sh
Incron works, it starts the script below but only the first command (copy-command). I have every time the file "data_list_manager.txt" in my directory, but nothing further. Incron is allowed to act like user "pi" and "root". All the files have pi- or root-rights.
It stops after the "cp"-command. And I don't why.
In this version of code the result are only two list. In the moment it is okay, and I change it if I have a solution for ma question.
The directory reference /bin/... before the commands "echo" "sed" is, because I have read that the "incron" works different like the Terminal and needs the directory-name of the commands.
Thank you very much for your support!
