With 9 lines of Ruby replace most of the command line tools that you use to process text inside of the terminal.
Here's the code
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
File.join(Dir.home, '.rbrc').tap { |f| load f if File.exists?(f) }
def execute(_, code)
puts _.instance_eval(&code)
rescue Errno::EPIPE
exit
end
single_line = ARGV.delete('-l')
code = eval("Proc.new { #{ARGV.join(' ')} }")
single_line ? STDIN.each { |l| execute(l.chomp, code) } : execute(STDIN.each_line, code)Clone this repo and copy the rb file to somewhere in your path (or just copy and paste the above).
With this you can use ruby as a command line utility much more ergonomically than invoking it the standard way.
There's only one switch -l which runs your code on each line separately. Otherwise you get an Enumerator that returns the lines of stdin. It's instance_evaled so some methods need self to work, eg. self[-1]
Just paste this line into your terminal to install rb:
