My current workflow for shopping list is: [1]
- In today’s journal page, write LATER meat #shopping/grocery
- When I’m in the shop, check the page shopping/grocery
However, the old grocery items, marked as DONE will still appear on this page. I created a bash script to clean up these old items manually.
(It works fine in WSL. It should work fine in Linux/mac)
BACKUP_DIR=grocery_cleanup_backup-`date '+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M%S'`
mkdir $BACKUP_DIR
for entry in $(ls journals)
do
egrep -v 'DONE.+shopping/grocery' journals/$entry > temporary.txt
mv journals/$entry $BACKUP_DIR
mv temporary.txt journals/$entry
done
