This is a nice beginner program to shell scripting, really. Write a script to randomly select lines from a .txt file and pull the answers from the next tab. Really a good idea. Tell it to never select the same line twice, nor to select lines in sequential order.

so have script store and check the last 5 answers and not repeat them

but also have a check for how many cards their are and if below something like 5 dont implement the behavior?

instead of a point system, utilize date time and actually perform date math to space the repetition of cards.

involves several parts:

• remove point system
• insert date time values for records
• change the menu selections for how many days/times to add to each card (new cards 1,3,5 days etc. while mature cards could be like 7,11,15,20, etc.)
• Perform date math to have the date time updated with the new increment of time to be added to it
• institute new logic to take each day, only gather the pool of cards with date times that are in the past from the moment of execution i.e. if now it is 2020-09-23 23:46 then cards from 2020-09-22 13:43 will be gathered
  • from this new pool you still use shuf to shuffle them
  • might need a new value to indicate if the card is new, young, mature, etc. using anki terminology
  • change new space values for each card based on maturity like new cards get options to space it (1,3,5) and young get (3,5,7,11) etc.

so that user doesnt accidentally quit

I'm always getting the same cards, I checked the deck file add the fourth arguments are still 0. I gave it a time as I though it may be that I was just being anxious, but its been 2 weeks and they are still all in 0.

The only thing I did was add the deck, I don't know if maybe I'm misinterpreting how this works.

My deck contains cyrillic characters, I don't know if that may cause any problems

• test on my system
• need to see if man even uses XDG
• test program on windows

add this to fail and inform users of need to update bash:

#* Fail if Bash version is below 4.4
bash_version_major=${BASH_VERSINFO[0]}
bash_version_minor=${BASH_VERSINFO[1]}
if [[ "$bash_version_major" -lt 4 ]] || [[ "$bash_version_major" == 4 && "$bash_version_minor" -lt 4 ]]; then
	echo "ERROR: Bash 4.4 or later is required (you are using Bash $bash_version_major.$bash_version_minor)."
	echo "       Consider upgrading your distribution to get a more recent Bash version."
	exit 1
fi

Describe the solution you'd like
Currently I feel like the project is being limited by the use of CSV as its storage format since even when multiple lines can be supported it would be really difficult to read the question. This also limits how much formating the question/answer can have.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently I was thinking of something like markdown. I also think making each flash card as a file would make the parsing a lot easier.

Hi !
It could be great to add the support of multiple lines on the question or answer fields.
For some of my cards, I need to insert a lot of informations.
I tried to add \n in csv fields, but it is not applied by the script.
I also tried to add the -e parameter to the echo commands on the script, but it changes nothing.
Any idea ?

Thanks in advance !

Would love to see some examples!

This script depends on GNU shuf, which comes bundled on any sane Linux distro, but not on OSX. You can install it through Homebrew with brew install coreutils, but then shuf will be installed as gshuf, so you'll need to either alias it (alias shuf='gshuf') or edit the script locally to change the shuf call to gshuf.

• add to travis
• setup badge
• add shellcheck to travis build
• go through shell check for script in depth

utilizing grep and awk to get the lines where they meet an awk condition, find min and max values, take the bottom few or a percent of them (bottom 10%) of cards then shuf them and return to user, recalculate each draw this variety of cards so that the user gets frequent draws of the items they score lowest on so they learn them and then the least familiar items are constantly shuffled into the draw for the user.

also need to add functionality to gather user input on the items difficulty and then implement a way to add the point values to existing lines.

likely heavy use of awk as it was meant for CSV manipulation

not just when pressing enter or any dummy key to move on
maybe restrict key input to move on to the number scores or quit commands [12345qQ]

cause no dependencies is best, and not forcing dependencies is preferred

otherwise output will be a single long line and not as useful, need to have a block of text

Hi ,
There are minute errors and scope of improvements in the first paragraph of the readme that are subtle but vivid.
Can you assign this issue to me?
Otherwise I would mention them here and you can correct it yourself

Describe the bug
If you have a slash (/) in a card's answer or question, its points field won't the altered.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a card like this to one of your decks:
   Vocabulary:burst out laughing/crying:to suddenly start laughing/crying. I walked in and everyone burst out laughing:0
2. Start the deck from fla.sh normally.
3. When the card containing slash shows up, press enter and press 4 or 5.
4. Exit the program.
5. Open the deck file.
6. And so you see the error, the field that's supposed to be 1 or 2 didn't change (it's 0).

Expected behavior
To add up points.

like the head command defaults to 10 but allow the -n arg to take a variable as its number argument like $CARD_TO_SHUFFLE=50 instead of just head -n 10 or head

add the opt args features to the script like traditional scripts use.
