This command might not be useful for most of us, I just wanted to share it to show power of command line. Download simple text version of novel David Copperfield from Poject Gutenberg and then generate a single column of words after which occurences of each word is counted by sort | uniq -c combination. This command removes numbers and single characters from count. I'm sure you can write a shorter version. Show Sample Output
Generates a password using symbols, alpha, and digits. No repeating chars. Show Sample Output
Will rot 13 whatever parameter follows 'rot13', whether it is a string or a file. Additionally, it will rot 5 each digit in a number
Yep, now you can finally google from the command line!
Here's a readable version "for your pleasure"(c):
google() { # search the web using google from the commandline
# syntax: google google
query=$(echo "$*" | sed "s:%:%25:g;s:&:%26:g;s:+:%2b:g;s:;:%3b:g;s: :+:g")
data=$(wget -qO - "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=$query")
title=$(echo "$data" | tr '}' '\n' | sed "s/.*,\"titleNoFormatting//;s/\":\"//;s/\",.*//;s/\\u0026/'/g;s/\\\//g;s/#39\;//g;s/'amp;/\&/g" | head -1)
url="$(echo "$data" | tr '}' '\n' | sed 's/.*"url":"//;s/".*//' | head -1)"
echo "${title}: ${url} | http://www.google.com/search?q=${query}"
}
Enjoy :)
