README.md

Split.sh is the first of two scripts that will import a bunch of text files formated in Markdown as Day One entries.

In order to work, each file name must start with AAAA-MMDD (wich will be as the date of the entries) and contain only one entry. So if, like me, you used to write a day worth of entries in a single file, like this:

2012-0816-J-my daily diary.txt:

### 17H32
Some text.

### 23h41
Some more text.
![alt text](link to an image)

Some more text.

### some title but no time stamp
Some text, again.

this script will look for occurences of ## or ### (or none, at the first line of the file) and, for each one consisting of a time stamp, will create a new file. (other ### will be added to the previous time stamp). So the example will look like this after spliting:

2012-0816-J-my daily diary1.txt:

### 17H32
Some text. 

2012-0816-J-my daily diary2.txt:

### 23h41
Some more text.

![alt text](link to an image)

Some more text.

### some title but not a time stamp
Some text, again.

Each new file will be created in a temporay export folder ("~/Desktop/output"). This folder must exist before running the script.

The second script, Import2DayOne.sh, will deal with the import process itself, using Day One CLI.
