# Generate the next filename in any numbered series of text files and open with emacs.
# Usage:
# $ next [descriptor] [tag]
# Handles optional string descriptor and tag. Like this:
# $ ls
# 011.blah.md
#
# $ next foo
# 012.foo.md
#
# $ next foo bar
# 013.foo.md
#
# Which populates the file like this:
#
# # 13.foo.md
# : 2024.01.14
# + bar
#
# See https://git.bth.moi/bth/um#next
# NOTE: we only want the filename, not to run emacs yet.
LASTFILE=`UMDISABLEEMACS=true $UMBASEPATH/last.sh`
# NOTE: the optional $1 arg passed to awk with -v:
NEXTFILE=`echo $LASTFILE | awk -f $UMBASEPATH/next.awk -v arg=$1`
# tag is optional second arg to this script

# um-next as elisp. Which also lets us add the header and tag.
