nice it fits in a skeet if i rename variable
x=$(xclip -o -selection clipboard)
while [[ $x =~ "\n\n+" ]]; do
x=${x//"\n\n+"/"\n"}
done
x=${x//-*\n}
x=${x//"\n"/ }
x=${x##* }
x=${x%%* }
while [[ $x =~ " +" ]]; do
x=${x// +/ }
done
echo "$x" | head -c -1 | xclip -selection clipboard
(told u im newb)
(it's actually not that ugly, i was exaggerating and then you called my bluff and now im embarrassed)
wait i don’t think i need the while loops here
okay so i tested it this morning and it was actually completely worthless and broken lmfao
fixed:
x=$(xclip -sel clipboard -o)
x=$(echo "$x" | tr -s '\n')
x=$(echo "$x" | sed '/-$/N;s/-\n//')
x=$(echo "$x" | tr '\n' ' ')
x=$(echo "$x" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/[ \t]*$//')
x=$(echo "$x" | tr -s ' ')
echo -n "$x" | xclip -sel clipboard
gemini trust broken, gpt is my new best friend
and since its just echo i can just not bother with a variable at all
xclip -sel clipboard -o \
| tr -s '\n' \
| sed '/-$/N;s/-\n//' \
| tr '\n' ' ' \
| sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/[ \t]*$//' \
| tr -s ' ' \
| xclip -sel clipboard
