Alfred Evernote Snippets

This is sort of a plugin to a great OSX app, Alfred. It adds all notes in Evernote “Snippets” Notebook as a quick-paste snippet in Alfred.

I use both alfred and evernote extensively, so Im quite happy about this one!

Usage

  1. Provided you have Evernote, Alfred and powerpack and this workflow installed
  2. Put some snippets in “Snippets” notebook in evernote
  3. Hit afred `s your_note_title`
  4. enter
  5. note content is now pasted to your focused window

Making of:


============================
Script filter:
var q = "{query}";
var values = Application('Evernote').findNotes("notebook:Snippets " + q);
var ret = '<?xml version="1.0"?><items>';
for (var i=0; i<values.length; i++ ) {
var title = values[i].title();
var val = values[i].htmlContent().replace(/<br\/>/g,'{enter}').replace(/<[^>]*?>/g,"");
var sub = values[i].htmlContent().replace(/\n/g,'').replace(/<[^>]*?>/g,"");
ret += '<item arg="'+val+'"><title>' + title + '</title><subtitle>' + sub + '</subtitle></item>';
}
ret += "</items>";
============================
You will need this to properly handle spaces (script filter has trouble with that)
NSAScript (synchronous)
on replace_chars(this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
set the item_list to every text item of this_text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
set this_text to the item_list as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return this_text
end replace_chars
on alfred_script(q)
return replace_chars(q, "{enter} ", "\n")
end alfred_script
