       treeify - manual page for treeify 2.2.3+hg20200223.0.3af921a

DESCRIPTION

       usage: treeify [-h] [-o OUTPUT] [-r PATTERN] [-d DELIMITER] [-s SPLIT] [-F]

              [-A] [--filler FILLER] [input]

       Identify  a  column  of  text  that contains hierarchical id and treeify that column. This
       script will inspect a text file and attempt to find a vertically  left-aligned  column  of
       text     that     contains    identifiers    with    multiple    components,    such    as
       "Assets:US:Bank:Checking", and replace those by a treelike structure  rendered  in  ASCII,
       inserting  new  empty  lines  where necessary to create the tree. Note: If your paths have
       spaces in them, this will not work.  Space is used as a delimiter to detect the end  of  a
       column. You can customize the delimiter with an option.

   positional arguments:
       input  Name of the file to process (default: stdin)

   optional arguments:
       -h, --help
              show this help message and exit

       -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
              Name of the file to write (default: stdout)

       -r PATTERN, --pattern PATTERN
              Pattern       for       repeatable       components       (default:      "(Assets|L
              iabilities|Equity|Income|Expenses)(:[A-Z][A-Za-z0-9-_' ]*)*")

       -d DELIMITER, --delimiter DELIMITER
              Delimiter pattern to detect the end of a column  text.   If  your  pattens  contain
              strings,  you  may  want  to set this to a longer string, like ' {2,}' (default: "[
              ]+")

       -s SPLIT, --split SPLIT
              Pattern splitting into components (default: ":")

       -F, --filenames
              Use pattern and split suitable for filenames

       -A, --loose-accounts
              Use pattern and split suitable for loose account names

       --filler FILLER
              Filler string for new lines inserted for formatting
