NAME

asubst - Area Substitution

SYNOPSIS

asubst [ -o outputfile ] [ -v ] [ inputfile ]

DESCRIPTION

The asubst program reads inputfile or from "stdin" and performs the following action: Characters and substrings are substituted according to Perl-like substitution commands enclosed by surrounding area delimiters. The substitution commands recognized are

[[s/pattern/string/options]]
[[tr/input/output/options]]

and the areas are defined by blocks delimited via

{: ... :}

EXAMPLE

{: [[s/X/ä/]] [[s/X/ü/]]
Foo Bar Baz Quux with Umlauts X and X
:}

This redirects the output to outputfile . Usually the output will be send to "stdout" if no such option is specified or outputfile is ""-"".

-v

This sets verbose mode where some processing information will be given on the console.
