I think I have an okay bash script (below) for producing a TOC for notes I keep in Github in Org-mode format. It produce bulleted links like
#+BEGIN_SRC org - [[./fileA.org][fileA.org]] - [[./dir][dir/]] - [[./dir/fileB.org][fileB.org]] #+END_SRC I run this script from a README.org file in my Github repo. My interaction with Github is a little frustrating, I think an extra blank line after =#+RESULTS:= prevents Github from omitting the entire list. Here is the script, it's more-or-less a very early program in my side project to learn programming. I think I have some inconsistencies in choosing to "" quote things. But it doesn't seem to be a problem. Hopefully I can learn Perl one day so I can do it in one line ;). I would have written it in Emacs Lisp since that is where I intended to use it, but I am still a little intimidated to learn this. Perhaps I will try to convert this to Emacs Lisp as an exercise at some point. Any comments are appreciated! (The choice of indentation as spaces is not the Org-mode convention (1,2,3... instead of 0,2,4...), but I choose simplicity in my scripts for now.) #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq org-babel-sh-command "bash") #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC sh :results scalar raw replace #!/bin/bash echo PrevDepth=1 PrevDir="." find -regex '.*\.org' | while read file do Slashes="${file//[^\/]}" Depth="${#Slashes}" Dir=${file%/*} if [[ $Depth -eq $PrevDepth && "$Dir" != "$PrevDir" ]] || \ [[ $Depth -gt $PrevDepth ]] then for (( i=1 ; i <= Depth-1 ; i++ )); do echo -n ' '; done echo "- [[$Dir][${Dir##*/}/]]" fi for (( i=1; i<=Depth; i++ )); do echo -n ' '; done echo -n "- [[$file][${file##*/}]]" echo PrevDepth=$Depth PrevDir=$Dir done #+END_SRC -- Brady
