CLI

The CLI reads a query from an input file, converts it from a specified source format to a target format, and writes the converted query to an output file.

To translate a search query on the command line, run

search-query-translate --from wos \
                        --input input_query.txt \
                        --to pubmed \
                        --output output_query.txt

Arguments

• --from (required): The source query format. Example: wos

• --input (required): Path to the input file containing the original query.

• --to (required): The target query format. Example: pubmed

• --output (required): Path to the file where the converted query will be written.

Example

Suppose you have a Web of Science search query saved in input_query.txt and you want to convert it to a PubMed-compatible format. Run:

search-query-translate --from wos \
                        --input input_query.txt \
                        --to pubmed \
                        --output output_query.txt

The converted query will be saved in output_query.txt.

Linters can be run on the CLI:

search-query-lint search-file.json
