|
- Filter reverse line feeds from input:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`{{command}} | col`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Filter reverse line feeds and output with spaces instead of tabs:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`{{command}} | col {{[-x|--spaces]}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Remove backspaces, output only the last character written to each position:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`{{command}} | col {{[-b|--no-backspaces]}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Specify a buffer size with a specific number of lines:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`{{command}} | col {{[-l|--lines]}} {{num}}`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Format a manual page for viewing with `less`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`man ls | col {{[-b|--no-backspaces]}} | less`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Process a file with reverse line feeds and save the cleaned output:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`cat {{path/to/input_file}} | col {{[-x|--spaces]}} > {{output_file}}`
|
