- Short: "Kenny from South Park" text filter

- Type: text/misc
-
- This is just a simple text filter that I knocked up in about ten
- minutes using "flex". For the uninitiated: "flex" is a program that
- can be used to generate scanners, which look for patterns in text and
- do something based on those patterns.
-
- If you've seen South Park on television, you'll be familiar with Kenny
- McCormick, the kid with the thick coat who dies in almost every
- episode. Because he has his coat buttoned up over his mouth,
- everything he says comes out muffled. This filter will "muffle" a
- text file, as if Kenny is saying it :-)
-
- It filters from standard input to standard output, so you can Kennify
- a text file like this:
-
- kenny <infile >outfile
-
- If your shell supports Unixoid piping, you can use it like this:
-
- kenny <infile | more
-
- Or why not have your computer _talk_ like Kenny?
-
- kenny <infile >SPEAK:
-
- Example output:
-
- 5.Ram Disk:kenny% echo "The cat sat on the mat." | kenny
- Mrr mrr mrr mr mrr mrr.
-
-
- As you will have gathered by now, this program is basically completely
- useless. Still, it's quite "cool", and every South Park Amigan will
- want it in his or her C: directory :-) You might want to implode the
- binary; it's extremely large for what it does; this is a feature of
- "flex".
