Removes obsolete metadata from graphs. Use the filename of graph as a parameter.

remove_md.awk [ graph file ] | [ -n | -nobackup | -h | --help ]

Backups are created by default with _bckp suffix. To change this behaviour use -n or --nobackup option.

Make it first executable "chmod +x remove_md.awk" and place it to the folder you like. Ideally already present in your PATH variable.

Use with caution! Report bugs.

./remove_md.awk ./remove_md.awk /Users/test-project/graph/metadata.grf ./remove_md.awk /Users/test-project/graph/metadata.grf -nobackup ./remove_md.awk /Users/test-project/graph/metadata.grf 2> log.txt

To process all files in a directory use: for f in *.grf; do ./remove_md.awk "$f"; done

Uses /tmp/remove_md.tmp as a temporary file. Original file gets rewritten. I found it more common usecase than printing it on standard output. Logs are printed on standard error output.
