Listing DSU entries

Jump to bottom
Gene M. Angelo, Jr edited this page Jan 7, 2024 · 10 revisions

You can list DSU entries for a particular day or date using any of the following commands. When displaying DSU entries for a particular day or date, dsu will display the DSU entries for the given day or date, as well as the DSU entries for the previous day, relative to the given day or date. If the given day or date falls on a weekend or Monday, dsu will display any entries for the preceding weekend and Friday; this is so that you can share any activities that occurred over the weekend (if anything) as well as any activities for the previous Friday.

  • dsu list today
  • dsu l n # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
  • dsu list tomorrow
  • dsu l t # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
  • dsu list yesterday
  • dsu l y # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
  • dsu list date DATE|MNEMONIC
  • dsu l d DATE|MNEMONIC # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
  • dsu list dates OPTIONS
  • dsu l dd OPTIONS # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Examples

Listing today

The following displays the entries for "Today", where Time.now == '2023-05-06 08:54:57.6861 -0400'

dsu list today

dsu l t # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Listing a date

The following displays the entries for September 11, 2023 (which happens to be a Monday).

dsu list date 11/9/2023

dsu list d 2023/9/11

dsu l d 9/11 # When omitting YYYY, MM/DD is assumed

Listing a date range

See Dates, MNEMONICS and relative date MNEMONICS for more information.

Display the last 3 days

dsu list dates --from yesterday --to -2

dsu l dd -f y -t -2

Display from 1/1 to 1/4 of the current year

dsu list dates --from 1/1 --to +3

dsu l dd -f 1/1 -t +3

Display from 1/2 to 1/5 of the current year

dsu list dates --from 1/5 --to -3

dsu l dd -f 1/5 -t -3

Display back 1 week of entries starting from today

dsu list dates --from today --to -6

dsu l dd -f n -t -6

Display back 1 week from yesterday's date

dsu list dates --from -7 --to +6

dsu l dd -f -7 -t +6

The above example is silly, but it illustrates the fact that you can use relative mnemonics for both --from and --to options. While you can use relative mnemonics for both the --from and --to options, there is usually a more intuitive way; for example:

This can be accomplished MUCH easier by using the yesterday mnemonic. This will display the back 1 week from yesterday's date.

dsu list dates --from yesterday --to -6

dsu l dd -f y -t -6
