Allow to save specific clipboard history item(s) to file and edit and retrieve those. about clipster HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi,

Thanks for your issue - I've been pondering it for a while, but wasn't quite sure how to proceed.

I ended up deciding that the feature you have requested is a bit too specific, and that command-lining chaining is mostly a good thing.

However it is true that having to grep over the whole server output is a little messy, so I have made a change to improve this - now in 1.1.0.

clipster now supports a -S | --search option. This takes a regex which acts as a filter on what the server will return. Note that it also interacts 'properly' with the -n option.

For example, if your history contained: ['cat', 'dog', 'sophisticated', 'cow', 'wildcat', 'fish']

$ clipster -S cat
wildcat

$ clipster -S cat -n 2
wildcat
sophisticated

$ clipster -S cat\\$
wildcat

$ clipster -S cat\\$ -n 2
wildcat
cat

Please let me know if this is going to be enough to do the kinds of things you envisage with clipster
