![Screenshot of GitHub Copilot on the web browser, with the query:
Write a node script that:
- Parses a markdown section per section
- Sections are corresponing to weeks, weeks start in lines, e.g.:
## W2
## W4
- A week ends when the next one starts
- Inside of sections are subsections, corresponding to days, in lines starting as e.g.:
### 2025-02-03
### 2025-02-07
- A day ends when the next one starts
- A day has lines
- Each line should be parsed as a separate entity
Parse the markdown file into a JSON that contains:
- Week (has name, has year -- inferred from the dates in the days)
-- Day (has name, has date -- inferred from the YYYY-MM-DD name of the day)
--- Lines -- one entry for each lines of text in each day
Underneath, there's a partial response:
Here's a Node.js script that parses a markdown file according to your specifications and outputs a JSON structure. The script uses the fs module to read the file and the markdown...
On the left, there's a parseMarkdown.js file that Copilot generated as the result:
const fs = require('fs');
const markdown = require('markdown-it')();
const parseMarkdown = (markdownText) => {
const lines = markdownText.split('\n');
let currentWeek = null;
let currentDay = null;
const weeks = [];
lines.forEach(line => {
const weekMatch = line.match(/^## (W\d+)$/);
const dayMatch = line.match(/^### (\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})$/);
if (weekMatch) {
const weekName = weekMatch[1];
currentWeek = { name: weekName, year: null, days: [] };
weeks.push(currentWeek);
} else if (dayMatch) {
const dayName = dayMatch[1];
const date = new Date(dayName);
const year = date.getFullYear();
if (currentWeek && !currentWeek.year) {
currentWeek.year = year;
}
currentDay = { name: dayName, date: dayName, lines: [] };
if (currentWeek) {
