  - ### Method Detail

    - #### main

          public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

      Main CLI interface.
      Parameters:
        `args` - all command line args.

    - #### getText

          @Deprecated
          public java.lang.String getText(java.lang.String uriOrFilename)
                                                throws java.io.IOException

      Deprecated.
      Get the text of the Groovy script at the given location. If the location is a file path and it does not exist as given, then `huntForTheScriptFile(String)` is called to try with some Groovy extensions appended. This method is not used to process scripts and is retained for backward compatibility. If you want to modify how GroovyMain processes scripts then use `getScriptSource(boolean, String)`.
      Parameters:
        `uriOrFilename` -
      Returns:
        the text content at the location
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### getScriptSource

          protected GroovyCodeSource getScriptSource(boolean isScriptFile,

                                              throws java.io.IOException,
                                                     java.net.URISyntaxException

      Get a new GroovyCodeSource for a script which may be given as a location (isScript is true) or as text (isScript is false).
      Parameters:
        `isScriptFile` - indicates whether the script parameter is a location or content
        `script` - the location or context of the script

        a new GroovyCodeSource for the given script
