ascii-art-cl

A command line utility for ascii-art, now upgraded from the previous CLI, and no longer polluting the main module with it's deps

Install

This is a commandline module, which does not interact with a local directory, so it's perfectly suited for global install.

npm install -g ascii-art-cl

Setup

Once installed, you can generate a configuration by running (though it will run without one)

    ascii-art-autoconfig
    ascii-art --help

which will (among other things) detect your theme and set an appropriate config. Edits can be made by hand in ~/.ascii-artrc or by using ascii-art-config <key> <value>

    #sorry, no autoconfig for now

Interactive instructions can be found using ascii-art --help

Documentation

Extended documentation can be found at the ascii-art repo.

Artwork

Support for artwork is back(note that there is currently no charset conversion)!

To install the plugin for textfiles.com:

ascii-art install artwork textfilesdotcom

(to then remove ~/.ascii-art/config and remove textfilesdotcom from the .artwork list)

now any searches will use this plugin and fetches can be executed against it.

Ex: Search for all instances of bbs in the descriptions text.

ascii-art art search bbs

Ex: get foo.nfo from the BLAH grouping using the textfilesdotcom plugin:

ascii-art art fetch textfiles.com:BLAH:foo.nfo
