Reading from stdin

-S / --stdin

Reads the log entry text from standard input instead of from the command-line arguments. This is useful for piping output from another command straight into today’s note:

echo "Quick note" | obsidian-logging -S
cat notes.txt | obsidian-logging -c work -S

Carriage-return and line-feed characters are stripped, and the input is logged as a single line, regardless of how many lines were piped in.

-S can be combined with the same flags as a normal add — -t/--time, -c/--category, -T, -f, and -s:

echo "Standup notes" | obsidian-logging -S -c work -t 9:00
