Shell scripts

Seems smarter to keep these lightweight shell scripts in one umbrella repository than to make a repo for each one.

jack - 6/18/15

ack searches over multiple files within a time span using find, without all the messy syntax.

sesame - 6/17/15

This command allows simpler syntax with the find utility to more easily open multiple files in various programs. For Macs.

browse - 5/7/14

Open a random Web browser, an exercise in seeing how pages render in a variety of contexts.

collapse - 11/24/13

Make human-readable JSON machine-readable. Flatten a JavaScript object (or any text file) into one line, shrinking multiple spaces into single spaces.

I know this exists already. I just wanted to make one myself.

Takes argument filename and copies it to filename_collapsed in the directory of your choice, passed as an optional second argument.

Also takes argument directory, batch collapses and copies each contained file.

Float - 12/2/11

Hard to believe bash doesn't support floating point numbers. These functions, barely modified from their original form in Linux Journal, pipe floating point numbers to bc where the expression is evaluated and returned to standard output.

Addzero - 11/25/11

Adds a zero before the single digit in file names separated by an underscore. Designed to help keep files in sequence in directory listings. Otherwise, you get listings like _0.txt, _1.txt, _10.txt, _11.txt, _12.txt, ... _2.txt, _20.txt, _21.txt, _22.txt, ... _3.txt, _30.txt, _31.txt, _32.txt, ...

Cel Helper - 10/28/11

A utility for converting the output of the AI->Canvas Plug-In for Illustrator into JavaScript drawing instructions. Used in tandem with my animation library.

Harvest - 10/20/11

This bash script identifies audio CDs and copies their contents to an archive directory.


The changelog covers all scripts in this repo in chronological order.
