Tree-like TUI

Box Drawings
Box-Drawing Characters Wikipedia page
There's a nice table of box drawing characters and their Unicode codes here

'│' // show hierarchy - '\u{2502}'
'─' // child branch - '\u{2500}'
'└' // last child in parent '\u{2514}'
'├' // show sibling hierarchy - '\u{251c}'

Ascii

'|'  // show hierarchy - pipe char
'-'  // child branch - en-dash char
'L'  // last child in parent - capital "ell" char
"|-" // show sibling hierarchy - pipe char + en-dash

Todo's

• read command line arguments instead of asking for input
• make the formatting work
• add tree-like TUI (see above)
