If you are planning to remove Evernote from your system due to any reason, you might want to keep the links you collected in your notes. This little gem will create a CSV file with a title and link of your collected URL's. It assumes you have exported your notes as html files. You can easily do this by following these instructions (also shown when you run the program):
- Open the Evernote programm
- click Notes in the navigation (on the left)
- klick ctrl+a to mark all Notes
- klick File > Export Notes... in the top navigation
- choose HTML as Format:
- choose a directory on a hard drive and click save
A folder with the extension .enex is being created. All your Notes are stored there as HTML files.
I created this little gem out of the need to somehow extract the Evernote URL's from my notes. Please be aware, that this is Alpha software and may produce bugs. Use it at your onw risk ;-).
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'evernote_link_extractor'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install evernote_link_extractor
When you have installed the gem, you can simply run it on the command line by typing
evernote_link_extractor
You will be asked where the folder with your exported notes html files is. After that, a CSV file will be created in the directory wher you run the program. And that's it.
Please see and report any bugs to Issues section of the Github repository
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
