Some other scripts

Just some other scripts that aren't Apple.

  • anystyle.rb: uses anystyle to extract a formatted reference from text

  • bluesky_rss_blog.py: Posts to Bluesky the most recent item from an RSS feed, assuming that it hasn't already been posted. Right now the feed is hardcoded in there, but in theory it could take it as an argument.

  • bluesky_rss_zotero.py: Posts to Bluesky the most recent X items from an RSS feed, assuming that they haven't already been posted. Right now the feed is hardcoded in there, but in theory it could take it as an argument.

  • ccitt2tiff.sh: uses fax2tiff to convert all the ccitt/param file pairs in a directory to tiff files, moving both sets of files into new subdirectories for neatness.

  • check_dovecot.sh: checks to see that dovecot is running as a service

  • convert_pdf: Use pdfimages to get the right dpi for a PDF and pass that along to convert.

  • fix_scans.sh: Offers a whole bunch of cleaning options for image files. Good for poor scans.

  • ocr_images.sh: Performs OCR on a series of image files and then dumps them all into a single PDF which is scaled to fit on both US Letter and A4 paper (8x10.5" max size). Replaced by using img2pdf followed by ocrmypdf.

  • pdf_remove_metadata.py: uses pikepdf to remove all the metadata from a PDF, optionally keeping author and title.

  • redo_ocr.sh: redoes the OCR on an existing PDF, preserving the first page and some metadata, if you like. Uses qpdf, ocrmypdf, and tesseract to do the actual work. Good for cleaning up those JSTOR files with horrible OCR.

  • wikitbl.pl: a perl script that converts simple text tables to wikipedia-style tables.

      SYNOPSIS
  
  wikitbl.pl [-c|-t|-s <text>] [-h] [-help] <input file> [<output file>]
  
  DESCRIPTION

  A script to convert simple text tables to simple Wikipedia-style tables. The
  script assumes that the columns are separated by commas (also can be forced
  by -c), but will accept tabs (-t) and any other string (-s <text>). If the
  -h option is used, the script will treat the first line as a header. No
  effort is made to give all rows an equal number of cells.
  
  The following options are available:
  -c        columns are separated by comma (the default when no option is present)
  -t        columns are separated by tab
  -s <text> columns are separated by <text>
  -h        first row of file is treated as a table header
  -help     print this information
          
  If no output file is indicated, the output will go to STDOUT.

    Still to do: provide option for one-line-per-cell style.

  • zot2obsidian.sh: Creates note files and then checks for mis-matches in the Obsidian vault for all Zotero entries, skipping files created by the Obsidian-Zotero plugin.

  • zotero_check_tags.sh: checks for mis-matches between tags in Zotero and in the Obsidian vault files created by the Obsidian-Zotero plugin.

  • zotero_s_and_r.js: a javascript that does a search and replace in Zotero, using the Execute JS add-on for FireFox. See https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7707/1/find-and-replace-on-multiple-items/.
