Description

This is a collection of utilities I use a lot, many of which I consider to be gaps in the standard UNIX toolset. Released into the public domain. Matt Post

zpaste. A version of "paste" that also allows compressed files.
expose. Allows a standard UNIX command or pipeline to be exposed as a lightweight web service.
iso639. Converts among ISO 639 codes and names.
mean, sum. Computes the mean/sum of a list of numbers.
mid. My favorite. Gives you a specified line number from a file. e.g.,
```
 cat big_file.txt | mid 100
```
will print out the 100th line. Equivalent to
```
 head -n 100 big_file.txt | tail -n 1
```
philog. Personal mods to Philipp Koehn's command-line logging script.
rand-sample. Simple reservoir sampler from Ben Van Durme that grabs N random lines from a stream on STDIN.
roll. Simple dice roller.
shuffle. Wrapper around Perl's "shuffle()". Warning --- slurps all input! Better to use "sort -R" if available.
splittabs. Writes tab-delimited columns on STDIN to file names specified as script arguments. e.g.,
```
 paste file1.en file1.fr | remove_bad_lines | splittabs file1_trimmed.en file1_trimmed.fr
```
passes two files through some imaginary script and then writes out the reduced ones. Useful in machine translation research!
