CLI tool str

CLI tool str performs common string operations in an easy way.

Example:

# returns "Doe"
echo "John Doe" | str field -i1

str works with standard input/output, so you can easily perform multiple operations in a chain:

# returns a random string with 10 characters
echo "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789" | str shuffle | str sub -l10

Regular expressions are also supported:

# returns 2023
echo "2023-10-11" | str regex -p"(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})" -g1

# returns He__o wor_d!
echo "Hello world\!" | str regex -p"l" -r"_"

Installation

Currently the app has not been added to any package manager.

If you want to use the app, clone the repository and run make install.

The make install command may not work on windows systems. In this case you can also run make build and copy the binary in dist directory manually.

Contribution

Since I do not know or can guess all use cases, it is difficult to implement all commands. If you have a use case or a good idea for a command, feel free to suggest it as an issue.

Of course, pull requests are always welcome.
