Make Hazel write into a csv file Sun Aug 25, 2013 4:53 am • by s6t
Hello

I am thinking that hazel sorts and organizies all my recipes based on Date/Number/businesspartner.

Is there any way hazel could write that very information into a .csv or .txt or even add to a evernote note?

That would be a real helper!
Imagine that hazel helps you track your bills and you import it right away into excel and have your balance "near ready".

thanks in advance

That would require an AppleScript. I don't know how much experience you have with that but I'd start googling around (or consider hiring someone to write the script).

I am not a developer, but I know how to code a bit.

Is there any manual oder developer documentation on how to export the custom tokens from hazel into the applescript?

That would help me alot.

thanks

Read the in-app help on AppleScript integration in general. There is no built-in way to pass stuff from Hazel to the script though if you search the forum, you'll find some hacks to pull it off.
