- EArg is an xargs look-a-like for the Amiga.
- Requirements: v36+ Kickstart, 020+
- Written in assembler.
-
- EArg doesn't behave exactly like its UNIX cousin; the flags are:
- F (=FIRST) specifying this puts your string in front of the data input
- to EArg (this is the default)
- B (=BETWEEN) This puts the external data between two strings from the
- command line
- L (=LAST) This puts EArg's argument after the external data.
-
- Example usage:
- List S: LFORMAT %p%s | EArg Type
-
- This would type out all files in your S: directory.
-
- EArg is pure, so the p-bit should be set.
-
- The system requirements may seem weird, but this was what would produce
- the most compact code. My experience is that most people using this kind
- of SHELL utility has at least this hardware/software anyway.

- Send a mail to me at sk@nvg.unit.no if you want to get in touch with me
- for any reason.
