play is a TUI playground for your favorite programs, such as grep, sed and awk.
It uses the excellent tview library for the UI.
$ git clone https://github.com/paololazzari/play
$ cd play
$ go build -o /usr/local/bin/
./play <program>
N.B. The program must be installed on your machine.
The input is evaluated immediately as you type without any validation.
If you want to use play
in read-only mode, thus avoding any file changes (such as those that would result if, for instance, sed -i
was used), then you can use a docker container:
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/play:ro plazzari/play:latest <program>
To exit the application, use Ctrl C
.
To exit the application printing the input expression to stdout, use Ctrl S
.
