    Not really. There will only ever be about a hundred people who ever use this tool, and it’s really just a massive timesaver that keeps people from needing to open a smorgasbord of files to get a few tidbits from each file; then collate it into one doc…

    If I get ~99.99% of all the information, and one hundred people use this, odds are, nobody will ever see the .01% edge case of missed info. and even if it does happen, it’s not like it’s obsfucated information in each file, it’s just a pain to open a hundred files and wait for them all to load at once through the disk-heavy GUI application we have to use.

    simpler to just read via the regex patterns, and then put it out into the terminal for the info needed.
