EXAMPLES

       Add a new note:
              memo -a "Remember to buy milk!"

       Add a new note with custom date:
              memo -a "File taxes" 2014-10-14

       Search memos by string:
              memo -f buy

       Output:
              4    2014-10-10    Remember to buy milk

       Replace record 4 with new text:
              memo -r 4 "Remember to buy cheese"

       Add note from stdin:
              echo "My new note" | memo -

       Mark note as postponed:
              memo -P 4

       Show postponed notes:
              memo -P

       Postponed notes are not shown by default. Postponed note can be marked as undone  or  done
       normally using -m or -M flag.  Only undone notes can be postponed.

       It's  possible  to  change the location (and name) of the .memo file. Create $HOME/.memorc
       (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.memorc) with a line MEMO_PATH=/path/you/would/like , Memo  will  use
       that path instead of the default $HOME/.memo path.

       It's  also  possible  to set memo path using an environment variable.  For example: export
       MEMO_PATH=/path/to/some/file. If MEMO_PATH environment variable is set that will be  used.
       If  it's  not set, Memo will try to read .memorc for MEMO_PATH. If the file does not exist
       or has errors, Memo will use $HOME/.memo file to store the notes.

       Since version 1.3 -D option asks for confirmation before deleting all notes. It's possible
       to  disable  this  confirmation  via  .memorc  property.  To  disable the confirmation add
       MEMO_CONFIRM_DELETE=no to
        .memorc file.

       Since version 1.5 it's possible to set a property MARK_AS_DONE in
        .memorc.   The   property   takes   a   valid   date   as   a   value.    For    example:
       MARK_AS_DONE=2014-12-23.  If  the  property is set Memo will mark all notes older than the
       property value as done automatically.

NOTES

       On some terminal emulators with Bash you can't use exclamation mark if Bash history expand
       feature  is  enabled.  For  example: memo -a "This is a test note!" 2014-12-20 would fail.
       Some terminal emulators workaround this (Gnome Terminal for example). You  might  want  to
       disable  Bash  history  expand  if  you  don't use it by putting set +H to your ~/.bashrc.
       Please note, that this is not a bug in Memo, or in Bash. It's a feature of Bash.

FILES

       $HOME/.memo $HOME/.memorc, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.memorc

COLORS

       Since version 1.6 Memo has support for colors. Color support can be enabled in .memorc  by
       setting  USE_COLORS=yes.  By  default  Memo  uses  blue for odd lines and magenta for even
       lines. These can  be  modified  via  .memorc  properties  LINE_COLOR  and  ODD_LINE_COLOR.
       Supported colors are:

       red

       cyan

       green

       blue

       black

       brown

       magenta

       gray

       none
