A zero dependency key-value search tool for your text based projects

textdex will provides a flexible way to search projects that may have gotten a little loosy goosey with their formatting. Your key value searches can have flexible delimiters with unlimited spaces on either side. searches are also case insensitive. meaning all the following formats will be found with this search ./textdex keyval=name:john

1. name: john
2. name John
3. name | john
4. name : joHn

This software is geared toward writers and worldbuilders who have the occassional need to sort their projects, or who are retroactively trying to apply standardized formatting to their project. With textdex, you can write first and format later.

(g++ -std=c++17 -o textdex textdex-lib.cpp;./textdex)

g++ -std=c++17 -o textdex textdex-lib.cpp
sudo ln textdex /usr/local/bin/textdex

textdex keyval=name:dad; textdex keyval=species:orc; textdex keyval=species:orc d=-;

textdex is opensource and can always be made better. Here are a few of the things this repos needs help with:

• Documentation
• Casting a wider net for search patterns.
• Pattern cleanup: while textdex is small, it still requires some reformatting to make it easy to work with and as flexible as possible

compile and run test searches

(g++ -std=c++17 -o textdex textdex-lib.cpp;./textdex folder=./ s=apple keyval=apple:dad d=asdf;./textdex folder=./ s=apple; ./textdex keyval=apple:dad d=asdf; )

clang-format -i textdex-lib.cpp --style="{BasedOnStyle: mozilla, IndentWidth: 4}"
