Re: Using Applescript to find an existing yojimbo note...
If it matters, I got the same error as Alan, but I chose to wrap it
with the try/on error/end try block that I was already using.

In my testing here, this causes an error (in Script Debugger) when
no
such item exists.
Just for reference, I tested my version with Yojimbo 1.5 on Mac OS X
10.4.11 using Apple's Script Editor 2.1.1 (AppleScript 1.10.7), and
no
error occurs when an item named by mytitle does not exist. Perhaps it
is a Script Debugger issue?
I should have offered similar clues -- sorry.
I'm using Yojimbo 1.5 on Mac OS X 10.5.1. I get the same error in
Script Editor 2.2 (Applescript 2.0) as I do in Script Debugger 4.0.8.
Yojimbo got an error: Can’t get note item 1 whose name = Friday,
January 18, 2008. Invalid index.
Let's blame Apple, shall we? ;-)
Whatever works!
That's my motto!

In my testing here, this causes an error (in Script Debugger) when no
such item exists. I had to change the test for finding an existing
note as follows:
-- find existing note
set resultList to get (every note item whose name is mytitle)
if (count of resultList) is 0 then
-- create a new note
set mynote to (make new note item with properties ¬
{name:mytitle, contents:imported on mytitle}) -- N.B. changed
'date' to 'mytitle'
add tags mytags to mynote
else
set mynote to first item of resultList
end if

It so happens I just installed Leopard this evening, and indeed I get
the same error now too. Probably just a consequence of the changes to
AppleScript; I didn't realize so much syntax was influenced. (I
foresee a long weekend of... adapting to these improvements.) Anyway,
thanks for your corrections.

Re: Using Applescript to find an existing yojimbo note...
How's this?
tell application Yojimbo
set mytags to {QLogic, Diary}
set mytitle to date string of (current date)
-- find existing note
set mynote to first note item whose name is mytitle
if mynote is missing value then
-- create a new note
set mynote to (make new note item with properties ¬
{name:mytitle, contents:imported on date})
add tags mytags to mynote
end if
activate
open location x-yojimbo-item:// (get id of mynote)
end tell
I don't know of a scriptable way to reveal items in the main window (I
wish there was - it'd be useful) so the open location hack shows the
item in a separate window.
Hope this helps,
Jim

Hey,
I'd like to use Yojimbo to keep a daily work diary. To make it easier,
I'd like to set up an applescript that will create the title of the
diary entry (based on today's date) and either (a) find the entry if
it already exists or (b) create a new entry if it does not.
I've figured out how to create the new entry, but I can't figure out
how to search Yojimbo to see if it already exists. In addition, I'm
not sure how to have Yojimbo select the diary entry and bring it to
the front. Here's what I have:
tell application Yojimbo
set mytags to {QLogic, Diary}
set mytitle to date string of (current date)
try
-- find existing note
set mynote to ???
on error
-- create a new note
set mynote to (make new note item with properties ¬
{name:mytitle, contents:imported on date})
add tags mytags to mynote
end try
activate
-- how do I bring the note to the front?
end tell
Thanks for any help you can give!
