Week tracker

[Saibot942]

Hi Victor,
Thank you for this tool. I have been wanting to use Prof. Grant Horner's system for a while now, but do not have the hours needed to read ten chapters every day. Listening to it seems a great way to implement it for now, until life slows down and I can start reading more.

Would you consider adding a method to track the last week or day number in a file? Then, that could be used to generate the next week worth of M3U files, if no start number is provided in the command input?

Thanks for your consideration!

Hi @Saibot942,

I am so glad that you found this tool useful! What Operating System are you using? If you're using Mac OS X or GNU/Linux, you can check out the bash script; make_one_week_playlist.sh which is in the same repository. If you're using Windows, the script can run on Cygwin. Is this the same thing you're looking for?

Grace and Peace

Thanks for the reply, Victor. I do like the shell script, I was just thinking it could be simplified so that it does not require the day integer input.

The idea I'm thinking of is similar to the way openssl stores the last certificate serial number in a local file and increments it each time you sign a new certificate.

• save the last day integer to a local file, day.txt
• incremented that number each time scripture_playlist_gen.py runs
• if no integer command line input is received, read the integer from that file

Not sure how easy this would be to actually implement. But it would spare me having to remember the next day number. ;-)

Thanks again for this great set of scripts!

@Saibot942 I'm glad you've found the scripts helpful. I appreciate your shedding more light on the week tracker feature. From your description, it's very workable. Please give me some time to see how I can implement it. I will look at it this Saturday evening. Grace and Peace.

Three-and-half years later and I haven't addressed this issue! 🙈 🤦
