Examples
Stutter can be used as a very simple echo clone:
$ stutter 'Hello, World!'
Hello, World!
But stutter also knows how to enumerate:
$ stutter 'foo|bar|baz'
foo
bar
baz
You can easily specify which parts you want to enumerate, and which parts
should always be there:
$ stutter 'My name is (what\?|who\?|Slim Shady)'
My name is what?
My name is who?
My name is Slim Shady
Stutter can also enumerate file contents:
$ stutter 'foo|bar|baz' > test.txt
$ stutter '(@test.txt) -- stutter was here'
foo -- stutter was here
bar -- stutter was here
baz -- stutter was here
And read from stdin:
$ cat test.txt | stutter 'Check this out, paste: @-'
Check this out, paste: foo
Check this out, paste: bar
Check this out, paste: baz
Stutter also likes ranges:
$ stutter '[0-9a-f]'
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
a
b
c
d
e
f
Of course, it can all be used together:
$ stutter 'My name is (@test.txt) [a-c] (who\?|what\?|Slim Shady)'
My name is foo a who?
My name is foo a what?
My name is foo a Slim Shady
My name is foo b who?
My name is foo b what?
...
My name is baz c who?
My name is baz c what?
My name is baz c Slim Shady
Stutter can teach you binary:
$ stutter '(0b(0|1){#|5})|I know binary!'
0b00000
0b00001
0b00010
0b00011
0b00100
0b00101
...
0b11010
0b11011
0b11100
0b11101
0b11110
0b11111
I know binary!
Stutter can repeat a char:
$ stutter 'a{42}'
a
a
a
...
$ stutter 'a{42}' | wc -l
42
