This works for me, add it to the Control Centre and select it when the app is frontmost, it will open the settings for you. I didn’t write this, and I’m not sure who the author is.

Iirc someone made a shortcut for that https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e5648ede493d4fdfa874fa5b3b249bfe

Thanks for the Tipp, tried with different capitalisations, but also nope:(

I need somthing like that to open google maps links in apple maps 😃

Since last iOS, app settings are located in a "folder" called apps, maybe this changed the path to be used.

So maybe try prefs:root=APPS&path=net.whatsapp.Whatsapp

It seems that capitalisation is relevant, so other than that, maybe, just the big "W" is wrong.. 🤔

Interesting, I did not know this, but if I were to take this route I would need to open port :22 on a work machine, which I highly doubt I have the privilege to do so, also the iPad wouldn’t directly access the folder and its contents which is what I’m looking to do.

I currently got a funky script that is sorta functional at the moment, it can search for some jobs but then I got folders like “33333-CustomerName-JobTitle” and as far as I can see wildcard values (*) are not supported with standard iOS Shortcuts.

I don’t have a solution, but just wanted to make you aware that you can run scripts over SSH using iOS shortcuts. Perhaps that could help? Although, I guess you probably already knew that.

Condolences on your neo feudalism. /s

If I could use grep I would! IOS/iPadOS scripting is plug-n-play, no shell involved.

Image as an example:

grep -rin

• recursive
• not case sensitive
• n - is entry in the file with line number

So that will search for stuff in documents and spit out the file and line number from the present working directory all the way down through recursive directories.

grep -rih will just give the file names that contain whatever search term comes next. The only tricky thing with grep is knowing to keep the text you're searching for simple because a weird regex is in play.

You could always make links with your own names to the names you do not like.

I don't use iStuff. Maybe it is different, but grep is pretty universal.
