A simple script that lets me edit timestamped files in Vim

today

#!/bin/sh

numargs=$#
t='today'
secFlag=''
editPath='.'

pos=1
while getopts ':sd' flag; do
    case "${flag}" in
        # Secure the note
        s) secFlag='-x' ;;
        # Save to the diary
        d) editPath="$HOME/Documents/diary" ;;
        \?) echo "Unexpected option: -$OPTARG"; exit 1;;
    esac
    pos=$OPTIND;
done

function join_by { local IFS="$1"; shift; echo "$*"; }

if [ "$pos" -le "$numargs" ]
then
    t=$( join_by ' ' ${@:pos:((numargs-pos+1))} )
fi

vim $secFlag $editPath/$(date -I --date "$t").txt
