Use case or problem
I want to provide larger chunks of content to various Obsidian CLI commands. For example, larger multiline scripts for eval, or larger multi-line content chunks for ‘append’.
Proposed solution
Use nix-style ‘-’ to mean ‘stdin’, e.g.:
echo “helloWorld()” | obsidian eval code=-
echo “Hello World” | obsidian append file=Inbox content=-
Current workaround (optional)
Probably something like:
echo <<-EOF > script.js
helloWorld()
EOF
obsidian eval code=“$(<script.js)”
But this is likely to be full of annoying quote problems.
