#!/usr/bin/env node

var nom = require('nom'),
    join = require('path').join,
    args = process.argv.slice(2);

if(!args[0]) {
  console.log('Usage: read <url>');
  process.exit(0);
}

var root = 'http://readability.com/',
    query = 'read?url=' + encodeURIComponent(args[0]),
    url = root + query;

// Selectors
var iframe = '#read-frame',
    content = '#container .entry-content';


nom(url, function(err, $) {
  if(err) throw new Error(err);

  // Article source
  var src = $(iframe).attr('src');

  src = (src[0] === '/') ? src.substring(1) : src;

  url = root + src;

  nom(url, function(err, $) {
    if(err) throw new Error(err);
    var title = $('<h1>').text($('.entry-title').text());
    console.log($(content).prepend(title).html());
    process.exit(0);
  });
});

To use this script, you will need nom. Run, npm install nom and you should be good to go!
