cli-help-parser

Legacy script usage:

The scripts need to be tweaked and modified in order to work with new CLI tools.

Steps:

1. Update root or rootName variable in each script to the name of the CLI tool (eg. docker)

2. Create a folder with the same name as the CLI tool / root

3. node scraper.js

   Attempts to scrape help text for all subcommands - there can be false positive. Will create a new file for each subcommand in the root folder.

   Format is command.subcommand1.subcommand2.txt

   You can set the recursion depth by updating the maxDepth variable.

4. node parser.js

   Looks in the root folder and builds a file named root-master.json. This is where the regexes are defined; they may need to be tweaked based on --help format.

5. node converter.js

   Takes the root-master.json and converts it into the final root.js file.

I am planning on bundling these into a single tool and parameterizing the settings. This is temporary!
