User:Inductiveload/quick pwb

The script is at User:Inductiveload/quick pwb.py.

The advantage of this file is you can save the run parameters for another time, it's easier to edit in a text-editor than on a command line and there is basic variable interpolation.

For this to work, pwb.py must be on your $PATH.

Input file format

• Variables can be interpolated into any line
• Set variables like this: $VAR=value
  • $_SCRIPT is special: it sets the PWB script to use. If not given, it's replace
• The regexes are Python-style, so use \1,\2, etc for references
• Lines that start # are discarded
• Other lines are PWB input arguments, one par line. Variables are interpolated before being passed to PWB
  • -prefixindex has the namespace split off, so you can write -prefixindex:Page:Foo.djvu rather than -namepace:Page -prefixindex:Foo.djvu
  • The -summary has template names in the form {{template}} expanded to {{[[Template:template]]}} so they are linked in the summary.

Every line is either a variable definition or it gets added as a PWB input argument, after any variables are replaced. It looks something like this:

$_SCRIPT=replace
$MYVAR=Foo?
-prefixindex:Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)
-summary:Convert Foo to BaFoor
-regex
$MYVAR
Ba\1r

Environment variables

You can set some variables in a file called .env next to this script, or directly using environment variables:

• QUICKPWB_PWB_PATH the directory to find pwb.py in
• QUICKPWB_FIX_PATH a set of paths, separated by colons, to look for fix files in
