I would like to use a single key-command to append the text selection
to a text file. A text file whose name is derived from the name of the
current mailbox. Typically, I put a CR, a few delimeter characters and
another CR after the latest entry in the text file. The messages from
this list go into my "applescript" mailbox. Like any other list,
there's a lot of dross along with the good stuff. I only need the good
stuff in my text file--which for this list is called "applescript.txt"
and is located in a folder along with the text files from all my other
lists. When I want to find something later on, then I just batch-regexp
through the file(s).
1. Create a shell script ("akerscript")
#!/bin/sh
# pasteboard script
cat >>/Users/aker/Documents/applescript.txt <<EOF
`date`
`pbpaste`
EOF
2. using your favorite keyboard shortcut app (Keyboard Maestro,
YoupiKey, etc.), attach a key to this sequence:
i) type the Cmd-C key
ii) launch unix script "akerscript"
and you're done.
