For this project I needed the ability to link to Excel. So I will standardize on Autoit for my Evernote scripting examples I'll show here starting with this post.Īutoit is very reminiscent of my favorite rendition of Visual Basic, their 3.0.Īutoits power can be extended by users. (June 2017 note - never did it, and don't even remember now what it was) And after doing this project in VBA, I re-did it in Autoit and found Autoit did it more elegantly. Update June 2017 : I did a post about why I chose Autoit for this and future projects.Ī future project I'll blog about soon couldn't be done with VBA but could be with Autoit. ![]() While I could have done this project using Excel's built in scripting tool, Visual Basic for Applications, I decided instead to use a wonderful, and free, scripting tool called Autoit. What if instead of moving an entire spreadsheet, you instead want to create a note from each line of data in a spreadsheet? Excel spreadsheets can be moved into Evernote if you have a Premium account. Text files, PDF's, and Delicious bookmarks are all easy to move into Evernote. I've been playing around with the scripting and thought I'd share an example script showing the kind of power it gives an Evernote user with just a little bit of programming ability.īefore we all began using Evernote, we all had data in a variety of file formats. Of course, they have their full fledged API (Link added June 2017) as well, but for a hobbyist programmer like myself, the scripting was intriguing. They have one for Windows they built called ENScript ( June 2017 note: link updated) , and another for the Macintosh (June 2017 note: link updated). As part of that, they talk about their rich search vocabulary and how they have hidden that ability in the API documentation.Īnother wonderful ability not obvious until you search around on their website, is Evernote's scripting capabilities. For example, Podcast #9 (June 2017 note - no longer available) debuted yesterday, and they talk about Saved Searches. ![]() I am working on another project using Autoit and Evernote's Windows scripting engine, ENSCRIPT so have been looking at this script again, and fixing some broken links.Įvernote is one of those applications with a lot more power then is immediately evident. My first ever re-post, but in my defense, still relevant. Below is a re-post of an entry from August 1, 2009.
