OhLife Export Converter

Read and convert OhLife export files to Evernote or individual .txt files

When OhLife closed down unexpectedly in 2014 users were provided with just a single .txt file command comintaing all their journal entries.

This node.js command line utility can convert the export file into either:

• an .enex file for importing to Evernote or
• individual .txt files

Config

Configuration options are available in ./config.js

Usage

• Help

node ohlife_export

• List all entries and their ids:

node ohlife_export list

• Read a specific entry (starts at 0):

node ohlife_export 92

• Export the entries to either individual .txt files or .enex for Evernote

node ohlife_export export txt

node ohlife_export export enex

• Check the validity of the file:

node ohlife_export debug

Methodology

The script splits the entries between the date stamps using the regex: /\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/g

The txt export option uses the entry date for the file name.

The Evernote export option sets the title as a human friendly date string and sets the note created date to the entry date.
