pyJourn

A python CLI Journal Program

This is a python journal program that allows you to type in your journal directly from your command line.

Download

1. Get python for your system. No need to worry if you have use Mac or *nix.
2. Clone this repo.
3. Should be peachy.

Usage

1. To run the program, type python3 journ.py in the terminal [just python journ.py if on windows].
2. Type directly into the command line the contents of you journal entry.
3. Press Ctrl+D on *nix or Ctrl+Z on Windows to trigger EOF to stop making entries.
4. You should see a timestamped text file once this is complete.
5. If the folder becomes too cluttered with text files, simply run python3 organize.py [python organize.py on windows] and your posts will be segregated by year and month.

Bonus Usage

1. If you have your entry stored in a file (preferably text file), you could do python3 journ.py < [input-filename] and it should work just the same.

Further functionality will be added in the future if I find the time and interest, really.
