line_by_line -s [textfile] <options>
line_by_line will print out the content of a text file one line at a time, and the next line only after the user has pushed a key. The default-behavior is to progress character by character through a line of text, to create the impression of the text just being typed, while you read along. You can impose with the option -f, that a whole line is displayed at once, instead and with the option -l determine the line-number where the output shall start.
-s, --source FILE read this file (MANDATORY)
-f, --fast display at once entire lines
-l, --line LINE start reading file at line 'line'
-h, --help Show the short help message
-v, --version Show version and program information

Development and Source Code: | |
line_by_line is programmed in Ruby and distributed as a Ruby-Gem. If you have installed the program from this Gem-file, find the gem-folder for your ruby-version (something like /usr/lib/ruby/gems/[version]/gems/line_by_line) and access the source-files there. Otherwise you can also unpack the gem-file with tar -xf then decompress the data-archive with gunzip. | |
