# A modified version of: http://agiletortoise.com/blog/2013/03/27/mimic-drafts-append-to-dropbox-using-alfred-on-a-mac/

# How to:
#
# 1. Make sure ActiveSupport is installed: gem install activesupport
#
# 2. Create a new Alfred workflow from template "Keyboard to Script" or "Keyboard to Script to Notification"
#
# Log file will be created if it doesn't exist

require "active_support/all" # gem install activesupport
s = "{query}".mb_chars.normalize # handle non ascii characters

# create insert value in template with timestamp
tmp = "#{Time.now.strftime('%d.%m.%Y - %H:%M:%S')} - #{s}"

# path to file you wish to append...
# folder path must exist, file will be created if it doesn't
f = File.expand_path("~/Dropbox/Log/log.txt")

# open file in append mode and add the string
open(f, 'a') do |f|
  f.puts tmp
end
