## Preview
## Usage
```
Usage : uec [file/text] [arg]
Commands :
-l, --local Convert local files
-r, --remote Convert remote files
-t, --text Convert and print oneline text
Options :
--read Read the content of a local file
--save Save the local or remote file with a desirable name
NOTE : works with command --local and --remote
Files will get saved with a random name if --save is not provided!
```
## Details
- Suppose you've an unescaped unicode like `\ud83d\ude01` and you can want to convert it into the character, which is 😁. You can simply do -
```sh
$ uec -t "\ud83d\ude01"
```
Data will always be under single or double quotes!
- For locally saved file filled with unescaped unicodes. Suppose you've a file called `unicorn.txt` or `unicorn.json` and you want to convert it. Just do -
```sh
$ uec -l unicorn.txt
```
- Alternatively, you can provide `--save` flag to save the file, which can be followed by another flag as a name of the file, for example -
```sh
$uec -l unicorn.txt --save somename
```
But, by default, the files will be saved with names like `somename-unicorn.txt` or `somename-unicorn.json`.
- In case you just want to print the output without saving it as a new file, you can do the following -
```
$ uec -l unicorn.json --read
```
__`NOTE :`__ Currently, there is no support to add path of the file in order to do the conversion, `--local` command works only if the file is in same directory!
- For remote files, there is a condition - The requsted data should be in the form of `txt/json`. For the sake of testing, I've uploaded two files to check the functionality
- [`json`](https://goo.gl/19PySg)
- [`txt`](https://goo.gl/hGqMFu)
Now, to read the remote files, you can do -
```sh
$ uec -r https://goo.gl/19PySg
```
You don't need `--read` flag in order to do so. For saving the online file, You just need to -
```sh
$ uec -r https://goo.gl/19PySg --save
```
__`NOTE :`__ I just made this for personal use. I hope other find it helpful too!
