shorlfilter1

Text filter that turns long urls into shorls (short urls)

Usage

shorlfilter [options] [file ...]

Shorlfilter takes piped input or a filename from the command line and returns the same file with any long URLs turned into shorls.

See http://shorl.com for more information on shorls.

If shorlfilter is unable to get a replacement short URL from shorl.com, the long URL will be left unchanged in the output of the filter.

Convert all URLs longer than 60 characters to shorls in file_with_long_urls, save results in file_with_short_urls:

cat file_with_long_urls ⎪ shorlfilter -n 60 > file_with_short_urls

Add the following to your .muttrc to have all outgoing messages in the mutt mail user agent be shorlified:

macro compose y <filter-entry>'shorlfilter'\ry<send-message>'

Add the following to your .vimrc to have map F5 to filter the currently open document through shorlfilter:

noremap <F5> :%!shorlfilter<CR>
