textract
========

[](#textract)

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

This command line tool allows you to extract multiline comments from php source files producing a string with all matched comments. This will not extract doc blocks, only texts between /\* and \*/.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Either clone this repo or use composer:

```
composer require flsouto/textract

```

For convenience I recommend you create an alias to the "process" script:

```
alias textract='php /path/to/flsouto/textract/process.php'

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

source1.php:
