# Generate forum post code from a level folder
folder=$1
color='#FFBF00'
if [ -z $folder ]; then
echo
echo "Usage: `basename $0` [CONTEST_FOLDER_WITH_LEVEL_FILES]"
echo
exit 1
fi
# Start script
pushd $folder &> /dev/null
levelInfo() {
ls *.level | while read file
do
#echo "file: $file"
name=`grep 'LevelName' $file | sed 's/.*LevelName //' | sed 's/"//g' | tr -d '\r'`
gametype=`grep 'GameType' $file | sed 's/ .*//' | tr -d '\r'`
levelgen=`grep 'Script' $file | tr -d '\r'`
lg=""
if [ "$gametype" == "GameType" ]; then
gametype="BitMatch"
fi
gametype=`echo -n $gametype | sed 's/GameType//'`
if [ "x$levelgen" != "x" ]; then
lg=' (levelgen)'

echo "[color=$color][b]$name[/b][/color] - [i]$gametype$lg[/i]"
# Add extra line for template
