slang-curl for Debian --------------------- A simple example of the S-Lang cURL module use is provided by a S-Lang script called translate, which sends a user provided phrase to http://babelfish.altavista.com for translation. It is run like this: slsh /usr/share/doc/slang-curl/examples/translate \ [--to lang-out] lang-in [phrase|-] For example, to translate `Hola Mundo' from Spanish to English use: slsh /usr/share/doc/slang-curl/examples/translate Spanish Hola Mundo and to translate `Hola Mundo' to French use: slsh /usr/share/doc/slang-curl/examples/translate \ --to French Spanish Hola Mundo It is also possible to use the script in a pipeline to play word games: slsh /usr/share/doc/slang-curl/examples/translate \ --to spanish English Boy meets girl \ | slsh /usr/share/doc/slang-curl/examples/translate \ --to French Spanish \ | slsh /usr/share/doc/slang-curl/examples/translate French You can also copy the script somewhere in your PATH and chmod +x it, avoiding the long `slsh /usr/share/doc/slang-curl/examples/translate' above. -- Rafael Laboissiere , Thu Oct 27 17:00:47 CEST 2005
