This is a script that selectively parses charts uploaded onto iReal Pro forums into a convenient JSON format.
A good portion of the code here is adapted from pianosnake's ireal-reader.
As a benchmark, we aim to accurately parse all charts from the popular thread Jazz 1300 Standards. A copy of the original chart data has been included in data_in/1300_orig.txt.
Optionally, we can configure data_in/list.txt to contain the list of file names we want to parse and test. File names should be separated by a new line, with spaces replaced by underscores, and special characters escaped:
Fly_Me_To_The_Moon
Got_A_Match\?
Here\'s_That_Rainy_Day
So_Nice_\(Summer_Samba\)
St\._Thomas
Tell_me_a_bedtime_story
Next simply run
node util/parse
Your output should now be in data_out/<filename>.json.
