Hi, I keep thousands of guitar chords and lyrics for songs on evernote. I am starting to stream covers and i want to share the list of songs that i can play with viewers. I'm not sure if this possible w/ Hazel, but it seems like it might be. I have three questions about this, Could you please help?



1. Is there any way that i can use hazel to quickly export the names of many notes in evernote to a txt, doc, spreadsheet, or something like that? I just want something would make it easy for viewers to see the titles of all the songs. All of the chord/lyric notes can be seen in evernote by searching "guitar chords". Usually i access the notes by searching "guitar chords", but i could put them all in a certain notebook or tag if it makes it easier.



2. If this is possible, Is there any way to auto-parse out repeated and unwanted data? For example, some of the notes say things in the title like "guitar chords from ultimate guitar.com". Is there a way to just make it include the title and the artist of the song?



3. If this is possible, is there any way to have this done automatically (so that new songs added to my evernote will also show up in the list that viewers can see)?



Thanks, Dan

I'm not sure Hazel is appropriate for this as it involves manipulating Evernote's internal data, and not files. You may want to look into Automator or AppleScript to help you in this case.

Thanks Mr Noodle!

I've also asked people on the evernote forum and was recommended to use a scripting software as well. I don't yet know how to use the scripting software for this use case, but would appreciate if you (or anybody) could offer some advice. If anybody wants to see that discussion its here: https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/1 ... ent-477148


ALSO While exploring evernote, I found that i could I use an export function on a group of notes and it allows me to export the notes to a folder where each note is a (properly titled) html file. This would make it easier to use with hazel, right?

Do you have any suggestions about if/how hazel could accomplish this task with this folder full of html files now?

Hazel can process a bunch of html files but it seems you want to do stuff based on the contents. That may or may not be doable depending. You'd need to supply specific examples.
