New tool for textutils: msg#00111gnu.core-utils.bugs
Recently i needed a tool for removing from a text file the lines longer or shorter than certain limits, and i couldn't find one in the textutils package. So i have written a program named "sieve" to do that. The output of "sieve --help" is: ------------------ BEGIN OF OUTPUT ------------------- Usage: sieve [options] [file] remove lines of given length from file or standard input, writing to standard output. Options: -h, --help display this help and exit -V, --version output version information and exit -M, --max-length=<n> remove lines longer than <n> -m, --min-length=<n> remove lines shorter than <n> -o <file> place the output into <file> Report bugs to <ant_diaz@xxxxxxxxxxx>. ------------------ END OF OUTPUT ------------------- If you think this program is useful enough to include in the coreutils package, please tell me. I'll send you the code, give copyright to the FSF, change the name of the program if necessary, etc. Regards. Antonio Diaz. |
