# Scans a file for groups of words and counts the totals                   #
# Input file:       ./tester.txt                                           #
# Wroud group file: ./bins.json                                            #
# Output file:      ./output.json                                          #
#                                                                          #
# The input file is human readable, easy to edit.                          #
# The output file is single-line JSON, use jq to format for reading.       #
#                                                                          #

# * use STDIN to accept file to scan                                       #
# * Support scaning multiple files                                         #
# * Output to csv                                                          #
# * Strip out header and footer text                                       #
