Run a script for each new-line or otherwise delimited chunk of standard input.
Print all the usernames in /etc/passwd: cat /etc/passwd | deno run -A https://deno.land/std/examples/xeval.ts "a = $.split(':'); if (a) console.log(a[0])"
A complicated way to print the current git branch: git branch | deno run -A https://deno.land/std/examples/xeval.ts -I 'line' "if (line.startsWith('*')) console.log(line.slice(2))"
Demonstrates breaking the input up by space delimiter instead of by lines: cat LICENSE | deno run -A https://deno.land/std/examples/xeval.ts -d " " "if ($ === 'MIT') console.log('MIT licensed')",
USAGE: deno run -A https://deno.land/std/examples/xeval.ts [OPTIONS] <code>OPTIONS: -d, --delim <delim> Set delimiter, defaults to newline -I, --replvar <replvar> Set variable name to be used in eval, defaults to $ARGS: <code>`;
