# text-tools
`text-tools` is a set of programs designed to be used with a text
editor I'm currently working on. The programs themselves are
generic programs that can be used for some stream-based text
editing tasks.
These programs are:
* `add`, `mul` for adding and multiplying the numbers represented by the
lines of stdin
* `cmt` for commenting out text
* `hello` for printing the hello world program in a given language
* `i`, `ui` for indenting and unindenting text
* `j` for joining lines together
* `lic` for printing out license text
* `sc`, `up`, `lo` for swapping, resp. changing to upper and lower case of text
* `spt` for splitting function calls and declarations over multiple lines
* `u` for acquisition of Unicode characters not present in US-ASCII
Some of the parameters for these programs are set through environment
variables (although there are usually command-line arguments that
allow you to set them as well), such as `SRC_LANG` for the
programming langauge that is used, or `SRC_INDENT` for the indentation
string that is used.
The programs are written in Python 3, and should be cross-platform
(although some programs are implemented as symbolic links, somewhat
crippling Windows support). If you want to be able to use the
programs anywhere, you can of course add the `bin` folder to your
`PATH` environment variable.
## Examples
### lic, cmt, hello
Let's say you have a burning desire to write a "hello world" C program,
but you can't be bothered to type it out. Also you'd like to claim it
as your own intellectual property and add the ISC license to the top.
Just use:
```bash
$ (export SRC_LANG=c; lic isc | cmt -d; echo; hello) > main.c
```
Behold how `main.c` now contains just what you requested.
### u
Let's say you're learning Icelandic, but can't be bothered to change your
keyboard layout to Icelandic, or even US-Intl. `u` is the program for you!
Simply make a `.config` directory in any parent directory of your current
working directory, and place a file called `urc` in it, containing:
```json
{
"ae": "æ",
"th": "þ",
"dh": "ð",
"'": "\u0301",
"\"": "\u0308"
}
```
Lo and behold:
```bash
$ u ae
æ
$ u ae | up
Æ
$ u o \"
ö
```
