A script that extracts the contents of Python, VB, and C# components within Grasshopper and writes them out to files.

I find it useful because it means (when combined with version control) that I can use a diff tool to compare between different revisions to a script inside a component. YMMV.

You'll need Python installed in order to use this. You'll then need to open up a shell, navigate to where your Grasshopper files are, and then execute the script. As an example:

$ cd "c:\Grasshopper Project\"
$ python "c:\Script Location\moult.py"

If you execute the file it will traverse down all the folders within the directory it is placed. Each time it encounters a GHX file it will extract its the scripts and write them to a file in the same directory tree.

Note that you must Save As your Grasshopper files as "Grasshopper Xml (.ghx)" for this to work

Note that each time this script is run it deletes and then regenerates the old versions of its files. This means that if you delete a component containing a script in the definition, and then re-run this script its file will be removed. Comment out lines 88-91 if you want to stop this behaviour
