NAME

ssam – stream interface to sam

SYNOPSIS

ssam [ –n ] [ –e script ] [ –f sfile ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION

Ssam copies the named files (standard input default) to the standard output, edited by a script of sam commands (q.v.). When the script starts, the entire input is selected. The –f option causes the script to be taken from file sfile. If there is a –e option and no –f, the flag –e may be omitted. The –n option suppresses the default output.

EXAMPLES

ssam –n ,10p file
Print first 10 lines of file.

ssam 'y/[a–zA–Z]+/ c/\n/' *.ms
Print one word per line.

ssam 's/\n\n+/\n/g'
Delete empty lines from standard input.

ssam 's/UNIX/& system/g'
Replace every instance of UNIX by UNIX system.

ssam 'y/[a–zA–Z]+/ c/\n/' | grep .
Count frequency of words read from standard input.
