thomasdfischer / bound

Command line tool to find the first line whose value is greater than or equal to n.

Overview

bound is a command line tool with behavior similar to C++'s std::lower_bound: given a string and a file (or stdin), bound returns the first line whose value is greater than or equal to the given string.

Delimited lines of input

If the -f i option is specified, bound returns the first line whose i-th field is greater than or equal to the given string.

Fields are delimited by the space character (' ') by default, but can the delimiter can be specified with the -d option.

Line number

The line number --- instead of the line itself --- can be returned with the -i option.
