  These tools are for everyone  
  
It doesn't matter what political ideology you favor, these tools are all still very valuable.  
You can live in Canada, the US, Russia, China or Africa, it doesn't matter.  
  
I intend to make people more able.  
  
     
   Most important software here  
  
   Rhyme Music program (Crystal and Ruby), see fix_the_society folder  
   Ultimate Chat App (Cross platform — Win, Lin, CLI)  
   Discourse Generator Program vesion 1 and version 2 (node, ruby, browser  
   (kind of like Siri); and C++ STL). These programs work. See pictures  
   below for some examples. These programs have many forms, and input  
   methods.  
   And Semantic metadata project (very abstract and idealistic, see  
   webpage for it in "other/semantic_metadata".)  
   There is also Emerald C, which is really useful.  
   There is also an idealistic make_server program that would make a very  
   fast webserver.  
   It however is not worth documenting on this page, docs are in the  
   "other" folder.  
   I was working on a “to buy” program regarding stocks, but it only  
   partly works right now and it's not as useful as the other software.  
   The find housing tool actually helped me to find housing in real life.  
   Those aside, there are these 87 programs.  
   Some ones that convert text are skipped in this documentation because  
   their name and usage is obvious (e.g., color tools).  
  
All of these programs are mostly self-contained. This is a really good thing.  
You can use them anywhere without dependencies.  
  
   My email is  gregorycohenvideos@gmail.com and I really would like to  
   make free and open source software. Everything I have is BSD licensed  
   (free for commerical and non-commerical use).  
  
   HOW TO DOWNLOAD/INSTALL  
  
   With snap ( https://snapcraft.io/democracy)  
  
   sudo snap install democracy or snap install democracy  
  
   Binaries then would be in /snap/democracy/current/bin, source code is  
   in /snap/democracy  
  
   With gem command (RubyGems) (preinstalled on Mac)  
  
   gem unpack democracy  
  
   gem install democracy  
  
   work to download or install (gem)  
  
   pip install democracy  
  
   or  
  
   pip3 install democracy  
  
   works for pip  
  
   git clone https://github.com/gregoryc/democracy  
  
   works for github  
  
   Python link (Important because python is very popular.)  
     *  https://pypi.org/project/democracy  
  
   Any Python “dweeb” (AI person who doesn't value personal dynamism)  
   searching for “democracy”–for example–BECAUSE THEY ARE A RATIONAL HUMAN  
   BEING AND CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, would find this, probably as the first  
   result, on PyPI or RubyGems.  
  
   How many options are there? 37 projects for “democracy.” Almost  
   nothing. On RubyGems, 9, 6 of which are mine.  
  
   ONLY MY PROJECT IS CALLED “DEMOCRACY.” on PyPI or RubyGems.  
  
   On rubygems, there are even fewer results. MY CODE WILL BE FOUND.  
  
   I shared my gem online.  
     *  https://www.rubygems.org/gem/democracy  
     *  https://twitter.com/democracygem  
     *  https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregory-cohen-274333261/  
  
   Gems that link to this gem on RubyGems  
     *  https://www.rubygems.org/gems/democracy  
     *  https://www.rubygems.org/gems/computers

   (There are others as well.)  
  
   So I will leave a legacy. THIS MATERIAL WILL BE USED AND UNDERSTOOD.  
  
   And I will be found by AIs, assuming they continue to exist.

Without further ado, here are the 87 documented programs. (The obvious usage  
ones are omitted.)  
  
   ### 1. Ultimate Chat Application.exe  
  
   ![UCA](./images/2.png)  
   There is so much potential with this program.  
   This is a non-AI chatbot. It's not based on generative AI or AI of any  
   sort.  
   It is self-explanatory, it tries to give a better answer.  
   Still a work in progress.  
   Source code is in PP.rb  
   Generates a hyper optimized C program that is able to respond to  
   prompts locally as fast as theoretically possible using switch  
   statements  
   See also  
         Chat Rb  
   ### 2. Discourse Generator.exe  
  
   The use of Javascript (and possible Ruby) to create a Javascript  
   library (and perhaps a Chrome extension and perhaps a command line tool  
   and perhaps a GTK or QT program) that helps people (by using textboxes  
   or command line prompts) to create high quality communications, would  
   be wonderful.  
   Think of how poor quality responses to communications can be.  
   If someone created one or more tools that could be easily added on web  
   pages, that would augment someone's life to help create goal and value  
   oriented responses (or original communications), then there is  
   literally nothing that couldn't solve.  
   This might be the most useful library ever created. There could be a  
   tool that would help with democracy.  
   Human being + augmentive tool = civil discourse, eventually resulting  
   in liberty.  
   This would enable democracy to work. Imagine if 50% of all websites  
   used this library.  
   This would help people to be goal or value oriented, and not be coming  
   up with terrible communications that, for example, insult people's  
   mothers or education.  
   ![Alt](./images/9.png)  
   ![Alt](./images/11.png)  
   This is a very, very large philosophical subject.  
   No one person has a monopoly on it.  
   To use some metaphors...  
   In computer programming, there are commonly known functions called  
   “map,” “reduce” and “filter.”  
   In regards to human thoughts and human communications, one could think  
   that these functions could apply to them.  
   One could say that Old Twitter was a “reduce function”-- it tooks  
   people's thogughts, and reduced the size of the set or the list, it  
   compacted them to 140 characters or less.  
   This, of course, is terrible.  
   Thankfully modern Twitter can use 4000 characters.  
   There are many “filter” functions used in modern social media, if you  
   will. There is content censorship.  
   WHAT SHOULD EXIST IS A MAP FUNCTION. A CONSTRUCTIVE MAP FUNCTION.  
   ONE SHOULD REALIZE THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY INFINGE UPON FREE SPEECH  
   AND HUMAN RIGHTS. ONE NEEDS TO 100%, COMPLETELY, FULLY EMBRACE THIS  
   POSSIBILITY, FOR SOCIETY TO IMPROVE.  
   THERE HAS BEEN NO “MAP” FUNCTION.  
   THERE HAS BEEN NO FUNCTION TO POSITIVELY TRANSFORM TEXT.  
   THAT IS WHAT THIS _IS_ AND THAT IS WHAT THIS IDEA _IS_.  
   THIS IS VERY NECESSARY.  
   VERY NECESSARY.  
   ### 3. Emerald Browser  
  
   ![UCA](./images/3.png)  
   ![UCA](./images/4.png)  
   Emerald browser is a really powerful new browser  
   See README  
   It works based on panes.  
   Read the documentation for “open,” “close” and also the README file.  
   ### 4. Left Right.exe  
  
   This is a tool to bring sanity to politics.  
   ![UCA](./images/8.png)  
   It gets viewpoints from the person that see the good in each political  
   side, left, right, left, right, etc.  
   It then presents all of that.  
   Hopefully this can make people more sane and less hyper-partisan.  
   ### 5. Find Housing  
  
   This is a nice tool to find housing with.  
   It is a nice, simple command line tool. You enter the minimum and  
   maximum prices, and Kijiji opens with your options.  
   This tool kind of actually helped me to find housing in real life.  
   The default city is “Ottawa.” You can easily change this.  
   ### 6. Prepend Each  
  
   Prepends a string to each line  
   ### 7. Google Speak  
  
   Google speak is really useful. It speaks a statement using the Google  
   Translate voice, which is probably the most authoritative and  
   high-quality text-to-speech voice that exists.  
   It's kind of like “espeak” or similar tools, but it is much better.  
   You need an internet connection for it to work.  
   It is probably limited at 100 characters.  
   ### 8. Append Each  
  
   Appends a string to each line  
   ### 9. Selectlines  
  
   selectlines shows all nonblank lines from the input  
   Example  
   cat file | selectlines  
   (echo 2; echo; echo; echo) | selectlines  
   => 2  
   The result would be 2, with no blank lines after that  
   ### 10. Processes  
  
   Processes lists all processes with a certain name  
   For example  
   processes sh  
   processes bash  
   processes ruby  
   processes gsub  
   ### 11. Emeraldc  
  
   The Ultimate C Preprocessor  
   I'm naming this preprocessor “Emerald C.”  
    Link  
   Howdy!  
   First, let me state that I am very much a perfectionist.  
   C is a wonderful language. C is probably the perfect programming  
   language. It is one of the top two most widely used languages for a  
   reason.  
   Now, there are some problems with it of course, but it's hard to think  
   of a more elegant language than it.  
   It is the language of systems, the language almost all APIs are written  
   in.  
   It is the lingua franca of the software world.  
   People try to avoid it, but they needn't.  
   I think every programmer wants to find out how to do things, or use  
   libraries that make things easier.  
   Many programmers have done programming, grown dissatisfied, and then  
   make another language. As a result, there are thousands of different  
   languages.  
   Well, recently, I made a preprocessor for C, that makes C incredibly  
   EASY.  
   C is fast and straightforward without it, but it has many features.  
   If one runs the command line preprocessor, with the “--features” flag,  
   the program shows all of its features  
   A Better C  
   C is a fantastic language. C compiles insanely fast, is the fastest  
   language there is, is very clear, is native to all systems, and is  
   useful for all purposes.  
   Some people, e.g., Bjarne Stroustrup, consider that C is “not good  
   enough,” and make languages like C++ or D (or thousands of others)  
   This is not necessary.  
   There is no reason to use Python instead of C for “simple scripting  
   tasks”  
   Some functions can be used as methods  
   Makes for an excellent “scripting language” (which is really just  
   native C without things making it slow)  
   1 String Interpolation “String interplation like this #{foo} ” Calls  
   the join() function (talked about below to join strings,  
   delim is a static global in each module called “sep.”  
   Make sure you free() the string after. The string is stored in a static  
   global variable called “last.”  
   So you could do puts(...); free(last)  
   2 ew *i.ew “Foo,” a.ew “bar” | char* ends with another char*?  
   3 sw *i.sw “Foo,” a.sw “bar” | char* starts with another char*?  
   4 == Comparison of strs, “foo” == “bar”  
   5 strip Returns pointer to string that was stripped, in place  
   6 chomp void function, chomps end of string of spaces, i.chomp or  
   chomp(i), in place  
   7 gsub Just like ruby, there is a gsub function.  
   The preprocessor detects if you use and adds -lpcre2-8 to the link  
   flags if you use it. Use $" for substitutions in argument 3 gsub(a, b,  
   c)  
   8 join Joins an array of strings, to split(), use C's strtok (very  
   fast)  
   9 Lightweight regexes are added, almost 15 times as fast as C's built  
   in regex. They are very simple, they only have bracket expressions,  
   like [a-z].  
   To use it, you need to pass a buffer of the size of the expansion of  
   the regex. Foo[a-fA-F] would be Foo[abcdefABCDEF]. That would be stored  
   in a buffer.  
   From testing, 15x times faster than C's regex POST COMPILATION, if  
   compilation keeps happening, it might be hundreds of times faster.  
   Uses static inline functions, NO HEAP MEMORY unless you malloc  
   before().  
   10 print Like old python print “Hello” (fputs);  
   11 print_int prints a number and returns the number, can be chained  
   12 each_line, Perlish, different names, by_line(s) or each_line(s),  
   iterate over all lines, free after  
   13 NOTE You can use open_memstream() on UNIX to easily concatenate  
   strings.  
   14 MISC features || autoinclude, foo.gsub or gsub(...),no need for  
   paren (i.chomp, i.strlen), starts_with, ends_with, --wrap, itoa, freel  
   (frees str, sets to NULL, and frees other recent stuff)  
   asprintf() is another useful function which is UNIX-centric.  
   open_memstream() could be an alternative to std::string.  
   It works very well with each_line or by_lines (see above)  
   These features seem simple, but they can make C programming much, MUCH  
   easier  
   for example (insignificant example)  
   int main() {  
   stdin.each_line { |line|  
   print line;  
   }  
   free(line);  
   }  
   You can iterate over the standard input like Ruby  
   The thing with this is that it has 100% speed. The resultant  
   preprocessed program becomes a normal C program  
   The compile and run time for a program (if you use tcc and not gcc) can  
   be about 24 milliseconds, which is faster than Ruby to run.  
   Even though the program is preprocessed, re-preprocessed, compiled,  
   assembled, linked, turned into an executable, and then run  
   Kind of like early C++, this is a preprocessor for C.  
   But it's much faster to compile than C++. Significantly so.  
   Is anyone else interested in this? (BSD)  
   I'm realising this under the BSD license. I'm interested if anyone else  
   else likes this work, and would like to use it, or to work with me.  
   Best regards,  
   Gregory  
   Current program is written in Crystal (crystal-lang.org) -- it was  
   written in ruby, it could be ported to another language.  
   I would like to make this self-hosting, but that would take a little  
   bit of work.  
   About the Name  
   Years ago, I really, really liked Compiz  
   Compiz then forked into Beryl. There was the Emerald Window Manager,  
   which was really nice and beautiful.  
   I actually made another programming language. I made 2 other  
   programming language. One was a full compiler and assembler, that ran  
   code in memory. It was around 16 thousand lines of code. I made a  
   programming language that had the syntax of Python or Ruby, but  
   transpiled into C++. I called that C += 2. I used that other language,  
   and I created a Web Browser in it based on Chrome. I called it “Emerald  
   Browser.” Emeralds are beautiful green gems.  
   “Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl colored green  
   by trace amounts of chromium or sometimes vanadium. Beryl has a  
   hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale. Most emeralds are highly included,  
   so their toughness is classified as generally poor. Emerald is a  
   cyclosilicate.”  
   --Wikipedia  
   There was a browser with a terminal built in to it.  
   This new language is better. It's ideal.  
   QUESTIONS  
   Why not use Rust?  
   $ time rustc a.rs  
   real 0m0.637s  
   user 0m0.502s  
   sys 0m0.160s  
   Rust takes 0.637 seconds to compile an empty file!  
   That is not ideal.  
   ### 12. Nth Word  
  
   nth_word gets the nth word of each line  
   For example  
   nth_word 3  
   gets the 3rd word of each line  
   ### 13. Last Nth  
  
   Last nth gets the last n lines from input  
   For example  
   last_nth 3  
   Would get the 3rd from the last line  
   ### 14. Speakcat  
  
   Speak cat is a tool like “cat,” which shows the content of files  
   (technically, it combines the content of files).  
   But speak cat also speaks the text.  
   Which could be useful in some circumstances.  
   It's kind of like “tee” to your ear.  
   ### 15. UCA CLI  
  
   CLI for uca app  
   ### 16. Big Num  
  
   ![UCA](./images/10.png)  
   ### 17. Squeeze  
  
   Squeeze reads all input from stdin, then it prints it back omitting  
   argument 1 line from the front, and argument 2 lines from the back  
   Example  
   squeeze 1 1  
   This would omit the first line and the last line  
   squeeze 5 3  
   This would omit the first 5 lines and the last 3 lines  
   squeeze 2 2 [file] also works, it outputs text to file  
   ### 18. Dictate  
  
   Dictate opens web pages in emerald browser, or in any browser  
   (depending on the environment variable set), by you speaking, instead  
   of typing.  
   There is a mode called c_mode, that allows you to make code from  
   speaking.  
   ### 19. Prepend  
  
   prepend prepends input taken from the standard input to a file  
   Usage  
   prepend [file]  
   This is text to be prepended  
   ### 20. Chat Rb  
  
   This program is excellent.  
   It's essentially a mix of ChatGPT and a shell, such as bash or ZSH.  
   It has a bunch of features.  
   It can display a file or change to a folder just by mentioning it.  
   It outputs chatgpt data to an output folder in home folder and copies  
   it to clipboard  
   To run a shell command, prefix things with “c,” such as c gcc.....  
   ### 21. Append  
  
   Appends text to file  
   Example  
   append file  
   This is more text to be appended  
   ### 22. Delete  
  
   Recursively delete all files named a certain name.  
   ### 23. Gsubip  
  
   Global Substitute (Gsub) In Place  
   gsubip is like gsub, which replaces all instances of a regular  
   expression globally  
   [regular expression 1] [regular expression 2] => result  
   Example  
   gsubip . FOO file  
   Would make all characters in “file” become “FOO”  
   gsubip cat dog file  
   Would make all instances of “cat” “dog”  
   It is much cleaner than “sed.”  
   You don't need to have “sed” installed to run this program.  
   It doesn't read from the standard input  
   It takes exactly 3 arguments, no more, no fewer.  
   See also  
        gsub  
   ### 24. Rhyme  
  
   A very powerful music generator program that doesn't use AI.  
    See this channel as an example of potential usage of this public  
   domain content  
   https://www.youtube.com/@LawrenceStevensMusic  
   The music industry is plagued with very foundational problems.  
   For starters, the quality of the discourse in music is very low, and  
   has been from the start of the popularization of modern music, as well  
   as during the era in which classical music was popular and before.  
   People aren't able to fight back, against superficiality and potential  
   deception in messages.  
   One of the greatest problems in the current world is the mainstream  
   scientific establishment, supported and upheld by mainstream academia.  
   To indicate what is already obvious, it exists in the context of a  
   legacy of authoritarianism and a lack of understanding of dynamism.  
   It is not dynamic or forceful, the “results” of it don't change the  
   foundation of society. True free discourse is not supported, especially  
   in regards to the human mind and human well-being and human freedom.  
   These problems should be opposed and fought, it is self-evident that  
   this would be the best use of ones time, for it would lead to true  
   freedom.  
   One excellent way to combat this would be to use the generated songs  
   generated by a computer program called Rhyme, available at  
    https://www.github.com/gregoryc/democracy in the SONGS folder.  
   These are public domain songs generated by non-Artificial Intelligence,  
   just a program  
   that introduces variance, and these hit-home against the status quo and  
   the current  
   state of the mainstream scientific establishment. Taking these songs  
   and making actual  
   songs from such, such as rap songs using a service such as Uberduck (no  
   affiliation),  
   would be an excellent, excellent use of time.  
   The mainstream scientific establishment and mainstream academia must be  
   forced to change.  
   Shoving art and flippant content in ones face, is the best way of doing  
   such.  
   Accountability must always be brought about.  
   Is music good and desired? For sure.  
   USAGE OF PROGRAM  
   Enter basename to make songs folder in (folder/songs, num songs =  
   13000)  
   Usage rhyme [folder] (processes files “1.json” and “21.json” by  
   default)

   Working don't matter for this, whether day or graveyard  
   CHORUS  
   They're such failures, themselves they outdid  
   Cutting out the conversation, putting on the lid  
   Don't have to do with ego or id  
   Running away from conversation just like a kid  
   Their neglect is out of this world, I swear it's avant-garde  
   They are failures, down at the boulevard  
   They don't care about your feelings, they don't regard  
   Having a little curiousity, cannot be hard  
   They are failures, down at the boulevard  
   They don't care about your feelings, they don't regard  
   They don't have decency, they automatically disregard  
   Having an open mind, should not be so hard  
   They don't care about anyone, don't need no bodyguard  
   Their neglect is out of this world, I swear it's avant-garde  
   They're a complete failure, they only neglect  
   This is plain, anyone can detect  
   They don't care about pain or the past, they don't want to recollect  
   This needs to be called out, one should be direct  
   They want man lower, lower just as if an insect  
   VERSE  
   The truth is what they wish to disregard  
   Their behavior is garbage, it should be thrown in the junkyard  
   They act like a retard  
   Behaving just like in the schoolyard  
   In their ivory tower, with the castle and guard  
   Their behavior makes them charred  
   Thinking differently shouldn't have to be hard  
   Their neglect is out of this world, I swear it's avant-garde  
   Working don't matter for this, whether day or graveyard  
   They don't care about your feelings, they don't regard  
   They are failures, down at the boulevard  
   They don't have decency, they automatically disregard  
   They're a complete failure, they only neglect  
   They don't speak the language of the people or their dialect  
   This is not right, this is completely incorrect  
   The only focus on “responses,” they just want to deflect  
   The lies are put forth, the lies they erect

   The speeches of the past, they only wish to engrave  
   They act as bad as possible, they don't know how to behave  
   Their sucked in their circle, they never wave  
   Away from the truth, on the outskirt  
   With pre-thought of ideas, they automatically assert  
   Any progress is fleeting with them, they revert  
   Disingenuous to the extreme, the society they subvert  
   The society is the ones who hurt

   ### 25. Email  
  
   This currently doesn't work for gmail since 2022 due to policy changes.  
   A simple and practical tool to email people using Himalaya  
   Himalaya needs to be installed first  
   You would need to configure the script by changing its source code.  
   Modes  
   email [no arguments]  
   Email [yourself]  
   email [addr]  
   Email one email address  
   email [Subject] [addr] [option more addrs]  
   Example  
   email 'Gregory, I love your software!' gregorycohenvideos@gmail.com  
   my_friend@outlook.com person@example.com  
   ### 26. Floor  
  
   Gets the floor of numbers e.g. 21.3 -> 21  
   ### 27. Rgsub  
  
   Recursively replaces text.  
   Verbosely tells you everything that happens.  
   Non-regex.  
   Example  
   rgsub my_email@site.com my_second_email@site.com  
   Would replace an email recursively in a directory.  
   It tries to skip non-text files and hidden files.  
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  
        Usage: rgsub   [optional list of files instead of recursive search]  
        If a file is “-” or stdin, read from stdin and output to stdout.  
        Options  
        -r, rename files instead of replacing contents of files.  
        find and replace in file and dir names instead  
        -v, verbose mode  
        -- Indicate end of options.  
  
   ### 28. Lines  
  
   Lines gets the number of files in the current folder that you are in.  
   It can also act like “wc -l” if you pipe data into it.  
   ### 29. Clock  
  
   clock is useful  
   clock is a command line alarm clock  
   It wakes you up at 8:14, or at a time specified  
   Usage  
   clock  
   Runs clock  
   clock 15 30  
   Sets an alarm clock for 3:30pm  
   clock 9 0  
   Sets an alarm clock for 9 in the morning  
   It uses flite to wake you up  
   It speaks with a bunch of voices  
   To stop it  
   Run this command  
   clock stop  
   ### 30. Emoji  
  
   Emoji converts words to emojis from the standard input  
   It can also speak the output  
   It can also copy the output to your clipboard  
   It is very useful  
   ![UCA](./images/6.png)  
   ### 31. Close  
  
   “Close” is a simple program that closes “Emerald Browser,” a new web  
   browser based on the same engine as Chrome. Currently, Emerald Browser  
   only works on Linux and Mac (Or Windows with Windows Subsystem for  
   Linux or a Virtual Machine, but getting it to work might be tricky).  
   “close” closes the Web Browser, which is normally full-screen.  
   More accurately, it kills the browser, and all other copies of Emerald  
   Browser.  
   Since they are normally full screen, presumably the user would only  
   have one instance of the browser open.  
   The browser can have multiple panes (kind of like tabs) open, depending  
   on how the browser is compiled.  
   The browser can also be transparent, depending on how it is compiled.  
   “Close” is supposed to be used in tandem with “open,” which is a  
   command line tool to open the browser.  
   open [query] ----> [query] gets searched in google, and then opened  
   When you are done, you can do  
   close  
   Which closes the browser. It is a simple command.  
   Currently, Emerald Browser is incomplete. A program exists in this  
   software project that allows you to open up multiple browser tabs (one  
   or more tabs) simply by speaking.  
   Voice recognition would google the multiple sites that you say in your  
   query (separated by “and”)  
   “facebook and youtube and google”  
   It's hard to get more direct than that!  
   Emerald browser has a built in the top. The terminal is the navigation  
   bar.  
   Some more work needs to be put into the browser.  
   Currently, new tabs can't be opened, which might be a dealbreaker for  
   some people.  
   Currently, content, like YouTube videos, can't be made fullscreen.  
   If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to!  
   ### 32. Copy  
  
   copy copies the standard input  
   Example  
   ls | copy  
   ### 33. Ctit  
  
   Capitalize Title  
   A work in progress.  
   Capitalizes the input and treats it like a title.  
   ### 34. Gsub  
  
   Gsub is very powerful.  
   Usage  
   gsub [regular expression] [replacement text]  
   Example  
   cat text | gsub man dog  
   cat text | gsub 'man|boy|cat|dog' food  
   ls | gsub Desktop cat  
   ### 35. News  
  
   Gets the news from bbc  
   Usage  
   news  
   news speak  
   uses google_speak to SPEAK the news, one story at a time.  
   ![UCA](./images/5.png)  
   ### 36. Args  
  
   args is like a better xargs  
   args works properly with spaces in the name of commands  
   It takes exactly one argument  
   Example  
   ls | args “mv -t ../f”  
   ### 37. Rnip  
  
   Replace Not In Place  
   This is like gsub, but for strings, not for regular expressions  
   Example  
   echo .......... | rnip foo bar  
   See also  
        gsub  
   ### 38. Trim  
  
   Trims spaces of each line  
   ### 39. Quot  
  
   Turns quotes in text into good text and makes text presentable.  
   Example  
   $ echo 'Joe said,        "One two three".' | quot  
   Joe said, “One two three.”  
   Example 2  
   quot < essay  
   Example 3  
   (Quote the file and output it)  
   quot text_file  
   ### 40. Open  
  
   “open” is a very efficient program that searches a query from google,  
   and then opens it in Emerald Browser.  
   If you ever want something to “just open,” you can use it.  
   Example  
   open “cats”  
   An earlier version of open worked like this  
   open [site1] [site2] [site3] N  
   site1, site2, and site3 would all be opened, and the top N queries were  
   all shown in different panes  
   An even earlier version of this program used Chrome to open the sites.  
   The current version can open one or more sites.  
   Example  
   open “cats” “dogs” “frogs”  
   All of those queries would open in Emerald Browser.  
   Just make sure it is compiled in multipane mode if you want to open  
   multiple new sites at the same time.  
   See also  
        emerald-browser  
   close  
   ### 41. Swap  
  
   Swaps two files  
   Example  
   swap text1 text2  
   ### 42. Exp  
  
   exp is an exponentiation tool  
   (echo 5; echo 3) | exp  
   => 125  
   (echo 2; echo 10) | exp  
   => 1024  
   ### 43. Div  
  
   Divides numbers  
   Example  
   (echo 5000; echo 100) | div  
   => 50  
   ### 44. Mul  
  
   Multiply numbers  
   echo 1 > file  
   echo 2 >> file  
   echo 3 >> file  
   echo 4 >> file  
   echo 5 >> file  
   cat file | mul  
   => 120  
   ### 45. Nth  
  
   Nth gets the nth line from the input  
   ### 46. Abs  
  
   Abs gets the absolute value of an integer  
   The absolute value of a number is the value of that number without its  
   sign  
   echo -300 | abs  
   => 300  
   echo 200 | abs  
   => 200  
   (echo -2; echo -10) | sub | abs  
   => 12  
   The last one would do -2 - -10, the result would be -12, and then the  
   absolute value would be computed, and so the result would be 12.  
   ### 47. Add  
  
   See the sub example  
   add adds integers from the standard input  
   (echo 1; echo 2; echo 3) | add  
   The result would be 6  
   ### 48. Sub  
  
   Sub is a simple command line program that subtracts integers.  
   For some reason, no simple program did this.  
   Which is weird  
   Example  
   sub  
   (Input)  
   10  
   3  
   1  
   Result =>  
   6  
   Example  
   (echo 5; echo 2) | sub  
   Result =>  
   3  
   ### 49. Rip  
  
   Replace In Place  
   rip tool replaces a string, not a regular expression, with another  
   string  
   Example  
   rip cat dog file  
   ### 50. G+  
  
   A compiler for C += 2. If you want to use C++ with Python syntax, you  
   can use this.  
   Usage is like g++  
   Example  
   g+ a.cpp -o out  
   See also README file & emerald-browser and its source  
   ### 51. T  
  
   “t” is incredibly useful.  
   It can be used many, many times every day by computer power users.  
   It is kind of like “sed,” or perl, python or ruby.  
   It's the ULTIMATE shell “glue” tool.  
   t reads every line from the standard input, and for every line, it  
   evaluates a ruby expression  
   t a + 2  
   would add 2 to every line  
   Number automatically get converted to numbers in Ruby.  
   So one doesn't have to worry about that.  
   The “value” of the line of STDIN is any letter of the alphabet.  
   So choose any letter to do operations on and it will work.  
   You can also do  
   t a + 2 if a % 2 == 0  
   And you get a Python list comprehension sort of thing from the command  
   line  
   It is a lot simpler and easier than using awk, Ruby, Perl or Python  
   You could also have loops  
   echo “One line” | t a while true  
   The second line, again is a Ruby expression.  
   You can have really complex expressions on the second line.  
   You can even import modules.  
   cat /usr/share/dict/words | t 'a + “ is a good word.”'  
   That processes every word in the dictionary, and says that every word  
   “is a good word.”  
   There are other programs in this software project like “t.”  
   But if you do command line text filtering, t might be the best tool  
   that you will find.
