c8y util repeatfile

Repeat file contents

Synopsis​

Generic utility to repeat each line in a list of files

The command will read the list of files and iterate through each one printing out each line once. The process is repeated N times (as defined by the --times flag)

Processing order:

=> File 1: Print lines 1 -> last
=> File 2: Print lines 1 -> last
=> File M: Print lines 1 -> last
=> Repeat process X times
c8y util repeatfile <FILE> [...FILE] [flags]

Examples​

$ c8y util repeatfile myfile.txt
Repeat each line of the file contents

$ c8y util repeatfile myfile.txt --times 2
Loop over the file twice. The file contents will be printed from first list to last line, then read again.

$ c8y util repeatfile myfile.txt --infinite --delay 500ms
Loop over the file contents forever and delaying 500ms after each line is printed

$ c8y util repeatfile *.list --randomSkip 0.5
Loop over the files matching the "*.list" in the current directory (uses shell expansion), but randomly
skip lines at a probability of 50 percent.

Options​

      --first int               only include first x lines. 0 = all lines

--min int min number of (randomized) times to repeat the input (inclusive) (default 1)
--randomDelayMax string random maximum delay after each request, i.e. 5ms, 1.2s. It must be larger than randomDelayMin. 0 = disabled. (default "0ms")
--randomDelayMin string random minimum delay after each request, i.e. 5ms, 1.2s. It must be less than randomDelayMax. 0 = disabled (default "0ms")
--randomSkip float32 randomly skip line based on a percentage, probability as a float: 0 to 1, 1 = always skip, 0 = never skip, -1 = disabled (default -1)
