Create
Make a database for your boardgames, specifying only one field and value:
database=games.rec
n=Name
g=Vojvodina
touch $database
recins -f $n --value $g $database
recsel $database
Insert a few more, with the estimated playtime:
recins -f Name -v Saboter -f Playtime -v 30 $database
recins -f Name -v Chess -f Playtime -v 30 $database
View all games, or select one by number:
recsel $database
recsel -n 0 $database
Each game should note whether or not you have played it yet, so you can add that field and set the default to yes.
f=played
v=yes
recset -f $f -a $v $database
...but the field is wrong, it should have a capital letter:
new_field=Played
recset -f $f --rename $new_field
Read
Check how many records the database has:
recinf $database
Look at just the games you've never played:
recsel --expression="Played = 'no'" $database
Print how many, then just print the names:
recsel -e "Played = 'no'" --count $database
recsel -e "Played = 'no'" --print=Name $database
Update
To change a game's Played field from no to yes, use recset to specify the number, and change that field.
num=0
f=Played
value=yes
recsel --number=$num $database
recset --number=$num -f $f --set=$value $database
Find all games with a playtime of 30, and set the field Max_Players to 4.
recset -e "Playtime = 40" -f Max_Players --set 50 games.rec
This doesn't work, because that field does not exist.
You can --set-add the field, to add it wherever it does not exist.
recset -e "Playtime = 40" -f Max_Players --set-add 50 games.rec
Delete
Remove Played record from first game:
num=0
recset --number=$num -f Played --delete $database
You can comment the line instead of deleting it:
num=1
recset --number=$num -f Played --delete $database
recsel $database
cat $database
Delete an entire record:
num=2
recdel --number=$num $database
