rargs
A command-line tool combining xargs and awk with regex pattern matching for batch processing.
What is rargs?
Rargs is a command-line utility that combines the functionality of xargs and awk, adding powerful pattern-matching capabilities for batch processing tasks. It enables users to apply commands to input lines while extracting and manipulating specific parts using regular expressions or delimiters, simplifying complex batch operations in command-line workflows.
System administrators, DevOps engineers, and developers who frequently perform batch processing, text manipulation, or file management tasks on the command line and seek a more intuitive alternative to scripting with xargs, awk, or sed.
Developers choose Rargs over alternatives because it merges the line-processing power of xargs with the field-extraction capabilities of awk, offering regex pattern matching with named groups, delimiter-based splitting, field ranges, and parallel execution in a single, streamlined tool.
Overview
