# Running structured data extraction from command-line streams

Convert unstructured terminal text and log streams into validated JSON records for downstream tools

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=running-structured-data-extraction-from-command-line)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/running-structured-data-extraction-from-command-line/index.md)[العربية](/ar/usecases/running-structured-data-extraction-from-command-line/)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When something happensReceive text stream via terminal
- ThenParse entries against schema
- ResultEmit validated JSON objects

Process streaming text, error logs, or feedback batches directly from terminal standard input. The bot extracts target attributes, classifies records against defined schemas, and outputs clean structured formats ready for piping into analysis scripts or databases.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Accept text inputs passed from the command line and parse them strictly according to the specified schema and format requirements. Extract key entities, categories, and metrics into structured JSON objects. Ensure all required fields exist and values match the requested types. Do not execute shell commands, alter files, or write records to production databases without explicit user confirmation.
