command option file

This example features an option file and different ways to define new labels. Notice that the table in the output is not a complete table. The last two entries don't really have a lastword because the last word is used as the value for the free: label already. The default value of 000 is used for the third label in these entries.

Command: text2sus @testfree.dat < testfree.txt | sus2text

testfree.data

# This is a command-line file for text2sus
# Each option is defined in a line, empty lines or lines 
# beginning with "#" are ignored.

--next=\n
# This indicates that each line is a separate record

test
# We want to parse for the keyword test.

freetext=free:\s*(\w+)
# And for the first word after "free:", the label for this will be
# "freetext".

(?P<lastword>\w+)$
# And for the last word in the line, getting the label "lastword"
