wml_p6_asubst1

Usage

Overview

The asubst program reads inputfile or from "stdin" and performs the following action: Characters and substrings are substituted according to Perl-like substitution commands enclosed by surrounding area delimiters. The substitution commands recognized are

   [[s/pattern/string/options]]
   [[tr/input/output/options]]

and the areas are defined by blocks delimited via

  {: ... :}

Examples

  {: [[s/X/ä/]] [[s/X/ü/]]
  Foo Bar Baz Quux with Umlauts X and X
  :}

Options

-o outputfile

-v
