What's this?
commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
If you have a new feature suggestion or find a bug, please get in touch via http://commandlinefu.uservoice.com/

- Follow the Tweets.

Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Displays a scrolling banner which loops until you hit Ctrl-C to terminate it.
Make sure you finish your banner message with a space so it will loop nicely.
Removes ANSI color and end of line codes to the [{attr1};...;{attrn}m format.
Doesn't fail for percent sign now.
I've corrected the function. My octal conversion formula was completely wrong. Thanks to pgas at http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/071 for setting me straight. The new function is from pgas and is very fast.
Files containing ascii art (e.g. with .nfo extension) are typically not correctly reproduced at the command line when using cat. With iconv one can easily write a wrapper to solve this:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$@" ]; then echo "Usage: $(basename $0) file [file] ..."
else iconv -f437 -tutf8 "$@"; fi
exit 0
