This program is public domain, and use of it is entirely at your own risk.
For those of you wondering how I've been wasting my time lately, here's
the answer. A genuine hillbilly filter for your text files. Aren't you
overjoyed? Anyway, it works like this:
jethro <input_file >output_file
| |
| |
+-----+-----+
|
+--------------------+
|
+-- These little doojiggers are redirection symbols. If you forget to type
them, the program won't work.
Another possibility is
cookie | jethro | more
where you pipe the output of one program to jethro, and the output of jethro
to more (yes, it works!). I tested this using a good collection of Star Trek
cookies. Spockisms translate to hillbilly-talk especially well.
Finally, if you really want to get demented, try
jethro <jethro.doc | more
Isn't redirection fun?
At any rate, have lots of fun, and don't be late for school.
