Get all uploaded files in Roam Research to Obsidian

@pmbauer

mkdir -p _attachment/img && \
  sed -n 's/.*\[](\(https:\/\/firebasestorage.*\)).*/\1/gp' *.md */*.md \
    | sort | uniq \
    | sed 's/.*%2F\(.*\)?alt.*/\1\t\0/' \
    | awk '{system("wget -O _attachment/img/" $1 " " $2) }'

I tried Nicoles approach: Downloading files uploaded to Roam Research for use with Obsidian | Nicole van der Hoeven

It seems to have worked for me.

That is also how I ended up getting it and subsequently forgetting to report back here.

Thanks @pmbauer and @DorianS!

Nicole’s approach worked perfectly for me on a Mac. Just set the path to your root directory and run the script. Less hassle than installing the userland stuff for the other approach.
