DocMa - A Document Manager

This is a simple command-line document manager written in lua. It searches through a database for the authors, the title and the keywords of a document. Mutiple keywords can be combined by and (all keywords must match) or or (only one keyword must match). A not functionality is currently not implemented. Furthermore, the user can restrict the search to only the author, the title or the keywords.

Syntax

Use doc without arguments to see a summary of all options:

Options summary:
    <keys...> (string)      The key for searching
    --and (default true)    match ALL keys
    --or                    match at least ONE key
    -a,--author             interpret the key as author
    -t,--title              interpret the key as title
    -k,--keyword            interpret the key as keyword
    -o,--open               open the found document (if there is only one)

Database Format

The database (database.lua) is a regular lua table with the following format:

return {
    { 
        title = "Title of the document", 
        authors = { "First Author", "Second Author" }, 
        keywords = { "first keyword", "second keyword" },
        path = "/path/to/document"
    },
    { 
        title = "Title of the document", 
        authors = { "First Author", "Second Author" }, 
        keywords = { "first keyword", "second keyword" },
        path = "relativepathname"
    }
}
