Quick Windows user guide

• Make a new folder
• Put rust_elaborator.exe into that folder

Usage

WARNING: files may be overwritten

The files in.csv, out.csv, test.csv, copy.csv, and possibly others may be overwritten and data loss may occur. Run this program in an empty directory with a copy of in.csv or out.csv and nothing else present for safety.

The program reads a file in.csv or out.csv and outpus it to out.csv. The following command reads the contents of in.csv into the program and runs it. note that on windows, rust_elaborator instead looks like rust_elaborator.exe

rust_elaborator

in.csv must be formatted as follows...

title
Monopoly
Abomination
7 Wonders
Uno

...in excel or as follows...

title,
Monopoly,
Abomination,
7 Wonders,
Uno,

...as plaintext

where title can be anything. Capitalization does not matter. Additional columns will not be present in out.csv.

If out.csv is present, the program will take it as input and elaborate on it. This will fill in rows that have a) a blank second column or b) NOT_FOUND in the second column, if possible.
