One of the cases to have comment to show current test coverage. By default, prcomment looks for first comment with same text.

crystal run src/cli.cr -- -i 1 -r miry/prcomment -m "Test coverage \d*%" Test coverage 80%  # Creates a comment with text: 'Test coverage 80%'
crystal run src/cli.cr -- -i 1 -r miry/prcomment -m "Test coverage \d*%" Test coverage 130% # Finds the comment and replaces with: 'Test coverage 130%'

It is also usefull to change previous answer with new one:

crystal run src/cli.cr -- -i 1 -r miry/prcomment -m ":[+-]1:" ":+1:"  # Creates a comment with icon: ':+1'
crystal run src/cli.cr -- -i 1 -r miry/prcomment -m ":[+-]1:" ":-1:"  # Replaces with ':-1:'

The comment is too big for single line:

echo "The big content could be piped\nSome pattern from the comment\nThird line" | \
  crystal run src/cli.cr -- -i 1 -r miry/prcomment -m "Some pattern from the comment"
