Examples

To combine all TypeScript files in the current directory and its subdirectories, excluding any files in the node_modules and test directories, and write the output to a file named out.txt, you can run the following command:

code2text -i "**/*.ts" -e "/node_modules/" -e "**/*.test.ts" -o out.txt

To include the file path in the output file, add the -p or --include-path option:

code2text -i "**/*.ts" -e "/node_modules/" -e "**/*.test.ts" -o out.txt -p
