Append Text to FoldingText Journal File in Dropbox

[bb13]

I apologize if this has been covered in the forum but I'm looking for a workflow that appends text to a journal file located in my Dropbox/@text directory

 

The text file name is Work Log: February 2015

 

and the format is as follows

##2015-02-18

10:42 AM: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit

10:43 AM: sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

 

Basically the workflow would look for the filename and, if not found, would create a new month and then look for the date (if date not present then it is created) and append a timestamped entry under today's date. 

 

My idea is to use FoldingText to fold the individual days but to have all work log activities in a monthly text file.

 

I'm having trouble figuring out how to get it to log under the correct date instead of just logging to the page.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You might take a look at this workflow for ideas: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/974-doingtxt-a-time-tracking-workflow/

I wrote this workflow for working with my TaskPaper files in Dropbox:  http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/3560-todo-workflow/?hl=todo

 

Currently, I use it with FoldingText more thank TaskPaper. The journal functions work very much like what you described.
