Pasty-clipboard-editor NPM

Pasty - The Clipboard Editor

Edit the text directly on your clipboard (paste bin/whatever) with some built in functions.

Installation

npm install pasty-clipboard-editor

Usage

pasty-clipboard-editor will install a global command pasty to your bin which will be accessible via the command prompt (or run box if you're on Windows). You have some text on your clipboard, and you can call one of the built in functions, or one of your own saved functions and your text is updated.

Built-in commands are:

Command	Description
rep	replaces with a regular expression
cap	capitalizes or lower cases
columnAlign	Aligns delimited data by column
count	counts characters or lines
dedup	Deduplicates a list
urlencode	encode/decode a url/xml/base64
grep	you know, GREP...
help	gets help on functions
insert	converts a delimited text to SQL insert statement
newid	generates a new UUID
rep	replaces with a RegExp
setText	sets the content to the passed in string
sort	Sorts a list
xml	Pretty prints xml inside the string

You can also define your own functions comprised of a set of the above list in a local ~/pasty.json file. An example file is given in the repository.

Pasty will also work via a shell pipe, so echo "test" | pasty rep s x will output text. This is very useful in text editors that work with stdio like VIM.
