mole

Implementation of "MOLE - Makes One's Life Easier" text editor wrapper for VUT IOS course.

System Requirements

This script should be fully POSIX-complient, although it won't run on systems that don't have realpath or readlink commmands. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 using sh, bash and on macOS 13 using sh, zsh with grealpath installed.

Usage

Environment variables MOLE_RC with path to the config file and EDITOR must be set. Fallback editor is vi.

• mole -h - Prints help message
• mole [-g GROUP] FILE - Opens file (creates new if does not exist) and optionally assigns group to it
• mole [-m] [FILTERS] [DIRECTORY] - Opens the most recent file using filters (most opened if -m flag is set)
• mole list [FILTERS] [DIRECTORY] - Prints list of all files and their corresponding groups that has even been opened through this script
• mole secret-log [-b DATE] [-a DATE] [DIRECTORY1 [DIRECTORY2 [...]]] - Creates an archive with log of all files that has been opened and their opening dates

Filters

FILTERS is a combination of the following filters:

• [-f GROUP1[,GROUP2[,...]] - Specifies the groups
• [-a DATE] - "After" date
• [-b DATE] - "Before" date

DATE is formatted as YYYY-MM-DD (it is possible to specify hours, minutes and seconds, but it's not required by the task)
