Enable piping of 'find' results without keyboard interaction and without polluting the piped output with extra characters

Open paulburton0 opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

Currently, there is a 20-note limit for search results, after which a '--More--' prompt appears (if a --count greater than 20 has been used, and of course of there are in fact more than 20 results).

When scripting a 'find', however, the script hangs and waits for a manual "Return" before it will exit. Furthermore, if the output of the search is piped or redirected, the --More-- and control characters are piped along with the results.

I understand Evernote limits the results that can be returned, but is there some other way to buffer them so that they're more friendly to use in automated scripts/cron jobs/etc.?
