Mac users can access a suite of free command-line utilities with open source code. This software allows for straightforward execution of various computer functions through a convenient command line interface.
If you're looking for powerful command line utilities to help you with your file processing needs, Simple Command Line Utilities is here to impress. With an array of applications at your disposal, you can easily replace string values in files, dump them in hexadecimal little endian order, or even convert line feeds.
One such tool, dos_to_unix, is specifically designed to change the new line sequence of DOS/Windows-style files to Unix style. It works on one or multiple files, appending a tilde symbol (~) to the original files. Meanwhile, email_splitter allows you to break down email messages in a file into separate files of their own, named according to the time it was received.
For developers who need to examine hexadecimal files, file_dump is a perfect tool. When used, this application dumps a little-endian file in a readable format, with the least significant byte on the right. In the event that you need to replace certain strings in your files, simply use the replace_string application to do so. This tool searches for a specific string and replaces it with another in one or more files, also appending a tilde symbol (~) to the original files.
Another fantastic utility, rmdup, lets you pass in a list of files and deletes any duplicate files it comes across. Finally, the unix_to_dos application allows you to switch the new line sequence of Unix-style files to DOS/Windows style. Like other applications, old files are backed up and saved with a tilde appended to their names. All of these CLI utilities are worth exploring and can be incredibly valuable to any developer looking to simplify their file processing.
