How to clean the json #9

Closed alfamejl closed 12 months ago

alfamejl commented 1 year ago

Hi,

Thank you for the script!

I got a json converted. I have not yet managed to clean it up. It says that fixup-v1 or fixup-v2 are not recognized as internal or external commands, operable programs or batch files.

C:\Users\erikp\ColorNote-backup-decryptor-master\ColorNote-backup-decryptor-master>java -jar colornote-decrypt.jar 0000 28 < colornote-20231114.backup | fixup-v2 > notes.json
'fixup-v2' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Any idea on how to solve it? Bless you

Looks like you're on Windows.

These scripts are written for linux shells, so it will not work out-of the box on windows. You can try to install cygwin (or gitbash (which is built on cygwin I think, but offers a possible easier to install package)

If you do, try to run this instead since . is probably not in PATH by default in cygwin.

java -jar colornote-decrypt.jar 0000 28 < colornote-20231114.backup | ./fixup-v2 > notes.json

You could also look into the open PR which tries to improve the UX of some of these, but I don't remember if that is any easier to run on windows or not. (I think maybe it replaced some of the scripts with a clojure/java implementation so maybe)

Praise Jesus! It works well. Thank you. After some tries at installing cygwin and perl it worked perfectly. Thanks and bless you very much through the Lord of all creation.
