Simple script to wrap PWB to convert a simple command file to a command line invocation

  • Lines starting # are ignored
  • Lines like $VAR=foo set variables
    • $_SCRIPT set the PWB script, default is replace. Others include listpages and purge
  • Other lines are PWB inputs, in order

Example:

$REF=< *references */ *>
$DIV=< */ *(div|DIV) *>
-namespace:Page
-linter:stripped-tag
-summary:Removing <references/></div>
-regex
$REF *$DIV
<references/>
