StackExchange-CLI-Local

A CLI tool to query and display StackExchange Q&A via a local SQLite database from XML dumps.

This tooling is very much in an 'alpha' state. There are bad practices, poor design, and bugs abounding. Caveat emptor, and my apologies.

Files:

README.md - This file

se.pl - The actual CLI utility

se_sqlite_import.py - a Python script from StackExchange, modified to do what's required.

TODO:

• Code and algorithmic cleanup,
• Output simplification and cleanup,
• Replacement of bad practices with good,
• Restructure of database import to exclude less important information, or
• incorporate unused database information into output for clarity
