help with rule set up
Posted: Sat Aug 04, 2012 9:26 pmI'm trying to create a rule that will read the content for the pdf and move it to the correct folder base on the date found. I use the following applescript to create the custom tokens:
The token ctkYear returns the 4 digit year and ctkMMM returns the month spelled out (i.e. "July", "May", "April", etc). I then use "Sort into subfolder" with the custom token to move the file into subfolder "yyyy/mm"
Since I wanted the folder to be numeric, I added "Replace text" for the token "ctkMMM" to convert the month into digits (i.e "July" -> 07).
However, it is not picking up the replace text at all and keep moving the the file into folder "May" instead of "05". I also noticed in the log file that it's complaining about "bad file descriptor".
What am i doing wrong?
- Code: Select all
set itemPath to quoted form of POSIX path of theFile
set res to do shell script "/usr/local/bin/pdftotext " & itemPath & " - | awk '/through/{print $7, $5}; NR == 10 {exit}'"
return {hazelExportTokens:{ctkYear:word 1 of res, ctkMMM:word 2 of res}}
The token ctkYear returns the 4 digit year and ctkMMM returns the month spelled out (i.e. "July", "May", "April", etc). I then use "Sort into subfolder" with the custom token to move the file into subfolder "yyyy/mm"
