Simplify everything by moving all data into a separate document. This document can be made portable between the wiki and CLI Love itself.

= helpme.sh =

<pre>
#!/bin/bash

# Scan a text file
# Look for given search string
# If found
# Print lines which have a string with spaces
# Stop at the first blank line.

# IDEA: Instead of directly echoing the text, build a variable. Then use `less` to display it. But frankly, if a description is that long, something is very wrong.

# IDEA: Go back through the list and display all associated commands.
# This would be pretty annoying to do.

# Assumptions:
# Commands do not have spaces in them.

# TODO: Redo the text file format so that it's copy-pasteable between the text file and the wiki.

echo_if_has_spaces(){
# Display lines
# with a space
# or starting with http
pattern=\ \|^http
if [[ "$1" =~ $pattern ]]; then
\echo -e "$1"
fi
}

checker() {
found="false"
# Scan a text file
while \read line; do
# Look for given search string
if [[ $1 == $line ]]; then
found="true"
fi
if [[ $found == "true" ]]; then
# Stop at the first blank line.
if [[ "$line" == "" ]]; then
break
fi
# Print lines which have a string with spaces
echo_if_has_spaces "$line"
fi
# (Scan a text file)
done < <( \cat helpme.txt )
if [[ $found == "false" ]]; then
\echo sorry, not found
fi

example
This is an example description. It is one paragraph.
\\nSlash sequences are allowed (see man echo), but must be double-escaped.
\ \\\\\\ backslash
\ \\\\a alert (BEL)
\ \\\\b backspace
\ \\\\c produce no further output
\ \\\\e escape
\ \\\\f form feed
\ \\\\n new line
\ \\\\r carriage return
\ \\\\t horizontal tab
\ \\\\v vertical tab
\ \\\\0NNN byte with octal value NNN (1 to 3 digits)
\ \\\\xHH byte with hexadecimal value HH (1 to 2 digits)
Spaces at the beginning of a line must begin with a \\ \\n
