NAME
locale_simple_scraper - Command line tool for finding tokens in code
VERSION
version 0.200
SYNOPSIS
Deprecated: use locale-simple scrape (locale-simple) instead, the same scraper with the same options. Every call prints a deprecation notice on STDERR; the output and the exit codes are unchanged.
# ignoring specific regexps for the filename
# please be aware that you must escape the . and because we use bash here you
# must also be aware to escape the \ for escaping the .
locale_simple_scraper --ignore \\.build --ignore some/dir
# only use specific regexps for the filename
locale_simple_scraper --only core --only site/something
# different output parameter, might require more modules
locale_simple_scraper --output perl
locale_simple_scraper --output yaml
locale_simple_scraper --output json
# suppress output of line numbers
locale_simple_scraper --no_line_numbers
# scramble real filename with md5 (for security)
locale_simple_scraper --md5
# setting additional extensions for Javascript (default: js)
locale_simple_scraper --js jjs,ajs
# setting additional extensions for Perl (default: pl, pm, t)
locale_simple_scraper --pl ppl,pppl
# every one of these options can be given more than once, the lists add up
locale_simple_scraper --pl ppl --pl pppl
# setting additional extensions for Text::Xslate (default: tx)
locale_simple_scraper --tx ttx,xxx
# the same for Python (py), PHP (php), Go (go) and Rust (rs)
locale_simple_scraper --php phtml,incDESCRIPTION
This tool parses all Perl, Python, JavaScript, PHP, Go and Rust sources and Text::Xslate templates in the current directory and subdirectories to find calls to the Locale::Simple API and its siblings in the other languages.
It gives out on STDERR which files are parsed right now, while it dumps the resulting data to the screen. By default it generates a .po file, but you can specify via --output to dump json, yaml or a perl data structure.
Be aware that we add the domain as flag in the .po file. So double token may appear which only differs through a #, flag.
The options are listed by locale_simple_scraper --help as well.
