dirty-semicolons

Quick and stupid in-place semicolon remover for javascript. WARNING: Does not use a real parser!

rationale

I wanted to remove semicolons from all my old files. And after looking through too many complicated es-beautifiers, I decided to write a dirty and stupid program.

WARNING

This is a very stupid program designed for how I write code. Read how it works before using:

1. Read each line in a file (not each parsed javascript code line, but each "physical" line)
2. If the line has only one semicolon then remove the semicolon
3. If the line has more than one semicolon then leave all the semicolons (covers for(;;) usage) except a semicolon as the final character in a line
4. Overwrite original file unless -o is provided

That's it.

installation
