utils

Various small tools that I use to make my life easier.

Currently contains:

• ftc - a short script to print all the files in a particular directory + subdirectories which contain a particular string.

• ytsrt.py - a short program for converting YouTube XML subtitles into SRT format.

• jytsrt.py - a short program for converting YouTube JSON subtitles into SRT format.

• jytvtt.py - a short program for converting YouTube JSON subtities into VTT format.

• intsum, fpsum, fpmean - tiny F77 programs which sum/mean all the numbers from stdin and put the output on stdout. intsum does integer math, fpsum/fpmean double precision floating point.

• dir - a shell wrapper to be more like the behaviour of DOS dir (WRT pagination, order) than GNU dir.

• bt.py - an extremely basic tool to control Banshee from a console.

• amstrad2unix - a command-line tool to convert files copied from Amstrad NC series computers to Unix/Linux format.

• unicode_pretty.hy - a command-line tool to convert ASCII strings into pretty unicode text, e.g. 𝔅𝔩𝔞𝔠𝔨𝔩𝔢𝔱𝔱𝔢𝔯.

• python*-wrapper.sh - commands to launch a python 2/3 interpreter with the "recommended" environment on UCL RC resources, regardless of python modules loaded.

• fortwrangler/fortwrangler.py - convert non-compliant free format Fortran code to the correct line length.

• ADdate/addate.py - convert Active Directory dates into either text or Unix epochs.

• aws-instance-status.py - basically qhost for AWS, wraps awscli.

• aws-get-ip - converts an AWS instance ID into an IP address safely (validates it to decrease opportunity for command injection), wraps awscli.
