A tool like wordcount that supports continuous streams at a regular interval
npm install wcswcs (word count streams)
========================
A tool like wordcount that supports continuous streams at a regular interval
Install
------
Install the command line utility wcs
npm install -g wcs
Usage
-----
Usage: stream | wcs [interval]
tail -f
Example
-------
If stdin finishes, the program acts just like wc(1)
$ echo 'hello how are you?' | wc
1 4 19
$ echo 'hello how are you?' | wcs
1 4 19
However, unlike wc(1), wcs will count frequency at a regular interval
(1000 ms by default, can be changed by setting the first argument), so
you can do cool things like...
$ while sleep 1; do echo 'hello how are you?'; done | wcs
1 4 19
1 4 19
1 4 19
1 4 19
^C
$ while sleep .5; do echo 'hello how are you?'; done | wcs
2 8 38
2 8 38
2 8 38
2 8 38
^C
Known Issues
------------
* Some weirdness with buffering/back pressure on the pipe...
don't fully trust the output
