Usage: $0 # / p / a /
where # is the number of arguments to take at a time,
/ is any string, used as a separator,
p is the first part, usually the program name, of each command l
+ine, and
a is the list of arguments for p.
For example: $0 1 / unzip / foo bar baz /
will execute:
unzip foo
unzip bar
unzip baz
Or: $0 2 / someprog -osz / these are some args /
will execute:
someprog -osz these are
someprog -osz some args

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
