Drop(p) named URLs or paths into a JSON file so you can easily retrieve them later

dropp.rb

require 'json'

action, name, path = ARGV

filename = ".dropp"

$config = File.exist?("#{ENV['USERPROFILE']}/#{filename}") ? JSON.parse(File.read("#{ENV['USERPROFILE']}/#{filename}")) : {}

def truncate(string, max=65)
  string.length > max ? "#{string[0...max]}..." : string
end

def add name, path
  $config[name] = path
  save
end

def get name
  $config[name]
end

def open_path name
  `start #{$config[name]}`
end

def remove_item key
  $config.delete key
  save
end

def save
  File.open("#{ENV['USERPROFILE']}/.dropp", "w") do |f|
    f.puts $config.to_json
  end
end

case action
when "add"
  puts "Added #{name} - #{path}"
  add name, path
when "get"
  # For Windows
  puts "Copied #{get name} to the clipboard!"
  `echo #{get name} | clip`
when "open"
  open_path name
when "delete"
  remove_item name
when "list"
  abort("No list found. Try adding some items with the 'add' action.") if $config == {}
  $config.each do |key, value|
    puts "#{key} - #{truncate(value)}"
  end
else
  usage = """\n  Usage:
    add <name> <url|path>    // Add url or path by name to the db
    get <name>               // Get url or path by name

end

Not pretty. Quick hack. But it works.
