Extracts all the strings from your source code

codestrings 🔤

strings but for your source code.

Extracts all the strings from your code.

Use Cases 🧑‍💻

• Facilitate translation of hard-coded text strings
• Quick glance at what a code is "saying" by looking at the strings within it (?)
• NLP (?)

Features ⚡

• Extract to json or csv
• Multiple files at once
• Single executable

So far, this has been only tested with Javascript.

Usage ⚙️

codestrings [parameters] file1,file2,file3,...

Parameters

  --delimiters
        delimiters to use for string extraction (comma separated and escaped) (default "\",',`")
  --output
        output type: json, csv (default "csv")

Examples 🧪

Let's say you have this javascript file called example.js.

function greet(name) {
  console.log(`Hello ${name}`);
}

var fname = "John";
const lname = "Doe";
let age = 42;
let address = {
  street: "123 Main St",
  city: "New York",
  state: "NY",
};

You can extract all the strings from this file with:

codestrings example.js

The output will be:

example.js,"Hello ${name}","John","Doe","123 Main St","New York","NY"

Roadmap 🛣️

• Add more tests especially with more programming languages

• Improve algorithm performance
