Emits all user-visible text in an Ink project, including choices. This is useful any time you want bulk access to the text, e.g. for automated spelling and grammar checks.
First, install dependencies:
yarn
Then run the program:
yarn -q x path/to/compiled/ink/story.json
- This program works by traversing the story's compiled JSON file and emitting any string that satisfies the following criteria:
- Starts with a
^character. - Contains alphanumeric characters.
- Starts with a
- Known false negative: user-visible text that does not contain alphanumeric characters, e.g., non-ASCII Unicode.
- I'm unsure if there are any false positives.
- A more robust algorithm would parse the JSON structure using the true set of Ink rules, but that would add a lot of complexity.
