listing all the tags I've been using

listing all the tags I've been using

Hello,

I'm trying to document the tags I'm using for notmuch and make sure I
have not introduced duplication or typos. So I would like to list all
the tags I've used. Is there a way to do it?

Thanks,

Alan

The following should get you started (untested, from memory):

  notmuch dump | gawk -F '--' '{print $1}' | sort -u

Feel free to add some more AWK magic instead of the "sort -u" to
group/count by tag name.

notmuch search --output=tags '*'

That's much nicer than my idea. Thanks.

Thanks a lot Ralph and Kim. For the record, I refined Ralph's solution
to:

notmuch dump | tail -n +2 | gawk -F '--' '{print $1}' | gawk -F ' ' '{ for(i=1; i<=NF; i+=1) {printf "%s\n", $i;}}' | sort -u

which I can now happily throw away ;)

Best,

Alan
