pip3 install -U ediclean
```

## Usage
``` shell
$ ediclean -h
usage: ediclean [-h] [-s SOURCE_DIR] [-t TARGET_DIR] [filename]

Strip non-standard text blocks from UN/EDIFACT messages.

positional arguments:
  filename              File containing UN/EDIFACT PAXLST message

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -s SOURCE_DIR, --source_dir SOURCE_DIR

```
