echo made in rust, which can take files as input with the -f flag
cargo install fecho
A simple tool to echo multiple files, or text, or piped values
Usage: fecho [OPTIONS] [INPUT]...
Arguments:
[INPUT]... What should be repeated
Options:
-f, --file [INPUT] becomes a list of files you want to fecho
-c, --count <COUNT> Quantity of repetitions [default: 1]
-s, --separator [<SEPARATOR>] Optional separator, newline if no argument is given
-t, --top <TOP> Return display the first [TOP] lines of each echo
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
Using fecho to get the first two lines of a file:
fecho Cargo.toml -f -n 2 -t 2
[package]
name = "fecho"
[package]
name = "fecho"
Or multiple files
fecho Cargo.toml src/main.rs -f -n 2 -t 2 -s ";🦄;"
[package]
name = "fecho"
;🦄;
use std::{
error::Error,
;🦄;
[package]
name = "fecho"
;🦄;
use std::{
error::Error,
You can also pipe it through stdin:
fecho Cargo.toml -f | fecho -n 2 -t 2
[package]
name = "fecho"
[package]
name = "fecho"
Or just:
fecho 'Hello World!' -n 3 -s 'Hello User!'
Hello World!
Hello User!
Hello World!
Hello User!
Hello World!
When fecho is used to read stdin you can use the --continuos flag to make it read stdin continuously:
Which doesn't support the -n flag.
And makes the -t flag dictate the quantity of lines between each separator.
