I am moving all my notes from Day One to Evernote. Thru Scrivener I was able to import to it and then export individual notes. After getting them all into Evernote, they take the form of this:
Date: 28 avril 2013 10:20 Tags: [tags] - this line is there only if there were tags from Day One.
[note contents]
Now I'm trying to modify the note contents by setting it's date and then removing the first line indicating the date (will deal with tags afterwards). I'm using the following script:
tell application "Evernote" set thenotes to selection if (thenotes) is not {} then repeat with thenote in thenotes set oldnote to HTML content of thenote as string set oldnote to do shell script "echo " & quoted form of oldnote & space & "| textutil -convert txt -stdin -stdout" set line1 to paragraph 1 of oldnote set thedate to text 7 thru -1 of line1 as string if word 1 of line1 is equal to "Date" then set creation date of thenote to date thedate set modification date of thenote to date thedate if word 1 of paragraph 2 of oldnote is equal to "Tags" then set newnote to paragraphs 2 thru -1 of oldnote else set newnote to paragraphs 3 thru -1 of oldnote end if try set title of thenote to newnote as string set HTML content of thenote to newnote end try end if end repeat end ifend tell
It works if I run it on a note that I had copy and pasted (of the same format). But with all the imported text files, it fails at setting the note contents (cannot make {"[text]"} into type text.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
