parseout

A simple wrapper for semtools parse that copies parsed markdown files to a specified output directory.

Install

mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jerryjliu/semtools_parseout/main/parseout -o ~/.local/bin/parseout
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/parseout

Make sure ~/.local/bin is on your PATH:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc  # or ~/.bashrc
source ~/.zshrc

Usage

parseout <out_dir> <files...>

Examples

# Parse a single PDF
parseout ./parsed document.pdf

# Parse multiple PDFs
parseout ./parsed scotus_118/*.pdf

How it works

parseout calls parse under the hood, which outputs parsed markdown files to ~/.parse/. This wrapper copies those files to your specified output directory.

Requirements

• semtools installed with parse command available
