NAME

gbs - group argument LIST or STDIN by similarity and print to STDOUT

DESCRIPTION

Takes stdin or a list of arguments. This is the LIST. We group by similarity. Having same list element multiple times is ignored.

Elements are printed in groups separated by two carriage returns. Optionally, we output YAML.

USAGE

gbs [OPTION]... LIST...

   -d          debug
   -h          help   
   -v          version and exit
   -s float    min similarity for truth, defaults to 0.8
   -y          output is YAML dump
   -b          bash type output, each group is one line, quoted and space separated
   -H          group hard (thorough, slow)

   -g          group lazy (faster)
   -G          group hard (slow and accurate)

EXAMPLE USAGE

Group from argument list

   gbs these are words and if they are similar enough they will be matched and grouped

Group from STDIN

Group filenames by similarity!

   ls ./ | gbs
   
   find ~/ -name "*txt" | gbs

List filenames by similarity:

   [root@moonshine String-Similarity-Group]# gbs ../*
   ../excel2txt-0.04
   ../excel2txt-0.04.tar.gz

   ../file1.pdf
   ../file2.pdf
   ../file3.pdf

   ../DMS-WUI-Plugin-Base
   ../DMS-WUI-Plugin-Tmpl
   ../DMS-WUI-Plugin-User

   ../temp
   ../tmp

   ../index.html?parent=747704
