# Concat A simple utility for concatenating lines from stdin. ## Motivation I often find myself in the situation where I need to scrape data from logs, use combinations of `grep`, `cut`, and `sed` to extract values, then turn those values into various SQL queries. The last step is always the most annoying, so I decided to spend a few minutes to make this tool. ## Examples ### Example file ###### animals.txt ```text Lassie Flipper Willy ``` ### Raw Put everything together with no delimiter or quote marks: ```bash $ cat animals.txt | concat LassieFlipperWilly ``` ### Let's add quote marks ```bash $ cat animals.txt | concat -q "'" 'Lassie''Flipper''Willy' ``` ### Let's add a delimiter ```bash $ cat animals.txt | concat -d ", " Lassie, Flipper, Willy ``` ### Let's do both ```bash $ cat animals.txt | concat -q "'" -d ", " 'Lassie', 'Flipper', 'Willy' ```
