@timhutton thank you so much for doing this unfortunately I thought I was very technically advanced 30 year Internet user who knows how to code basic html but since I’ve come to mastodon I realized I’m a complete ignorant noob who doesn’t understand computers.
Can you explain the following to me which I don’t understand it’s like it’s a whole new language I’ve never learned before?:
“Open a command-prompt in that folder
python parser.py”

@HelloAndrew Command Prompt A command prompt is a way of interacting with a computer by typing (and opposed to pointing and clicking). (More specifically it is the bit where you type commands in a Shell which is displayed by a Terminal). There are different shells which have various differences but the basics of them are mostly the same. Bash and Zsh are common shells. How you open one depends on your operating system.
