uxCATling - rudimentary, dear Watson, parsing account history with nothing but that bash and dash - parseaccounthistory v0.01

long story short (yes i still use curl, otherwise its bare shell in linux mint 18 , im not sure if wget can handle it but functionality first, i'll look into that after)

So, as daylight draws near and the dishes are done, dinner is ready to cook just turn up the heat, the laundry is ... OH! ... gotta turn that on first brb ...
good you made me remember precious
ofcourse cat, need pantsss are proper
and so i sit , for a few minutes at a time, sitting in one place for more than ten minutes unless lying down watching anime or something is REALLY hard

at home ... i dont even wanna know somewhere i dont wanna be

and i think while doing the main body for Hive account@ubasti next post manually
to myself hmz, maybe i made an error in how much it distributed so far

so a bit of automation without an actual bot would take a bit of the boring load off and lo and behold, the mighty linux comes with conditionals and case statements by default, which leads to a first babystep from script to actual program

#!/bin/bash

#ho-kiez, next up conditional where $2 is command ? transfer / sbi
cat testestttt

that didnt take long compared to the last times, maybe theres still a few synapses popping inthere. Basically this is the base structure for command line parsing where $1 is accountname and $2 is command , which can be anything really all i need is the zbelling (or syntax) of any kind of transaction to pull it out

---

so i can

./anyinteractionwith_wrk.sh ubasti sbi

to see all shares the account gave out to someone on Hive account@steembasicincome

or i can

./anyinteractionwith_wrk.sh ubasti transfers

to see all outgoing transfers of actual steem and sbd

which should be easy enough to add

./anyinteractionwith_wrk.sh ubasti transfers SBD

or even later

./anyinteractionwith_wrk.sh ubasti upvotes 100 (or upvotes all)

to get all or the last 100 upvotes for instance, i think i'm starting to get the hang of it, slightly, in my own chaotic way, which is nowhere near structured daily hours on set hours but thats the least of my concerns really, im warding off evil in 10 feet radiusses all the time here

but this , at least, satisfies both my need to check it and my need to have some actual content for this post

YO-lo

probably best if she doesn't grow TOO fast or everyone will be left with 0.001 sbd and theres only three upvotes at 15sp to be raffled but if it comes it comes i kinda like the little project so far
