rargs

macos

Execute a command for each line of `stdin`. Like `xargs`, but with pattern matching support.

Examples (5)

Execute a command for every line of input, just like `xargs` (`{0}` indicates where to substitute in the text)

command | rargs command {0}

Do a dry run, which prints the commands that would be run instead of executing them

command | rargs -e command {0}

Remove the `.bak` extension from every file in a list

command | rargs -p '(.*).bak mv {0} {1}

Execute commands in parallel

command | rargs -w max-procs

Consider each line of input to be separated by a NUL character (`\0`) instead of a newline (`\n`)

command | rargs -0 command {0}
