I’ve written a small perl script to parse random entries from the extremely usefull commandlinefu.com website. Quoting from their site:
Command-Line-Fu is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
The script code is very “clean”. I can almost say that it’s written in a very python-ish way.
Sample output:%./cfu.pl
CMD: for (( i = 0; i < 100; i++ )); do echo "$i"; done
URL=http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/735/perform-a-c-style-loop-in-bash. Title=Perform a C-style loop in Bash.
Description: Print 0 through 99, each on a separate line.
%./cfu.pl
CMD: rsync -av -e ssh user@host:/path/to/file.txt .
URL=http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/20/synchronise-a-file-from-a-remote-server Title=Synchronise a file from a remote server
Description: You will be prompted for a password unless you have your public keys set-up.
You can get it from here: commandlinefu.com random entry parser perl script
As far as I’ve tested, it works out of the box on default perl installations of Debian, Gentoo and Mac OS X.
