I have installed the latest cli-master to try it out and see if I can edit various H5P files. Unfortunately I get the following error message after loading any H5P file. Can I please get a hint on what I have to change here in the cli.js to make it work?

/home/josef/Schreibtisch/H5P_Testgelände/h5p-cli-master/h5p-cli/cli.js:261
const data = help.match(new RegExp(regexp, 's'))?.[0];
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'

Hi Villon!Could you please

Hi Villon!

Could you please describe how exactly you're using the H5P CLI tool? Your post leads me to believe that you downloaded a zip archive of the code from github directly (`h5p-cli-master`) instead of following the instructions in the README. Not saying one cannot do it that way, but it might not be what you really intended to do.

On the other hand, you also have some `h5p-cli`folder inside the other folder.

On top, the line that you reference would only be invoked if you run `h5p help` followed by a command name. The error message could indicate that you're using a very outdated version of node.js (< 12) that does not support optional chaining. You could check that as well.

So in total, your post may not give anyone enough information to help you out.

Best,
Oliver
