CLI

Usage

Usage: uncapitalize [options] [<string>]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --split sep           Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.

Notes

  • If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the split option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

    # Not escaped...
    $ echo -n $'Beep\nBoop' | uncapitalize --split /\r?\n/
    
    # Escaped...
    $ echo -n $'Beep\nBoop' | uncapitalize --split /\\r?\\n/
    
  • The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

Examples

$ uncapitalize Beep
beep

To use as a standard stream,

$ echo -n 'Beep' | uncapitalize
beep

By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split option.

$ echo -n 'Beep\tBOOP' | uncapitalize --split '\t'
beep
bOOP
