Pluckeye commands always start with the word pluck
.
Let's say you want to enter the following command: pluck add "Sometimes 12-13 Whiteout"
Here's how.
On Windows
Open a command prompt. You may read instructions on how to do so.
I will now tell you to enter some commands. Entering a command means that you must press the Enter key after it.
Enter the command: cd \program files\pluckeye\bin
. If it worked, you should see: C:\Program Files\Pluckeye\bin>
Enter the command: pluck add "Sometimes 12-13 Whiteout"
. If it worked, you'll see nothing new except for: C:\Program Files\Pluckeye\bin>
Enter the command: pluck export | more
. To type the |
vertical-bar symbol on a US English keyboard, press Shift+\. This command will show you your full set of rules. If you wish, you can verify that the rule was successfully added. If you see a -- More --
prompt, press the space bar.
If you'd like to close the command prompt, enter the command: exit
.

Notes
Even when the Pluckeye documentation shows a dollar sign, you should never actually type it in. It represents something that you might see, not something that you're supposed to enter. The dollar sign represents a shell prompt. (Source.)
Pluckeye follows various longstanding Unix traditions. Therefore, if a pluck
command succeeds, it often emits little or no output.
