Installation

Clone from https://github.com/simon-brooke/milkwood-clj and build with Lieningen

Usage

$ java -jar milkwood-clj-0.1.0-standalone.jar -f [filename] -d [depth]

Options

-f, --file                      The path name of the file to analyse (string)
-l, --output-length    100      The length in tokens of the output to generate (integer)
-h, --no-help, --help  false    Print this text and exit
-o, --output                    The path name of the file to write to, if any (string)

ears, conjures MRS ORGAN MORGAN And then Palestrina, SECOND VOICE he shouts to his deaf dog who smiles and licks his hands. UTAH WATKINS Gallop, you bleeding cripple! FIRST VOICE From where you are you can hear in Cockle Row in the spring, moonless night, Miss Price, in my pretty print housecoat, deft at the clothesline, natty as a jenny-wren, then pit-pat back to my egg in its cosy, my crisp toast-fingers, my home-made plum and butterpat.

Bugs

Not so much a bug, but as I've written this all as pure recursive functions it's vulnerable to stack exhaustion exceptions. I've specified extended stack size in the project file, but that won't be sufficient for analysing large texts.
