<p>This recipe shows how to create a utility like Unix seq (command-line), in Python.
seq is described here: </p>
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seq_%28Unix%29" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seq_(Unix)</a></p>
<p>but briefly, it is a command-line utility that takes 1 to 3 arguments (some being optional), the start, stop and step, and prints numbers from the start value to the stop value, on standard output. So seq has many uses in bigger commands or scripts; a common category of use is to quickly generate multiple filenames or other strings that contain numbers in them, for exhaustive testing, load testing or other purposes. A similar command called jot is found on some Unix systems.</p>
<p>This recipe does not try to be exactly the same in functionality as seq. It has some differences. However the core functionality of generating integer sequences is the same (but without steps other than 1 for the range).</p>
<p>More details and sample output are here:</p>

<p>This recipe shows how to read and process delimiter-separated values (DSV) data with a Python command-line program. It provides two ways of specifying the delimiter character, by an ASCII character or an ASCII code, which makes it more flexible than allowing only a character. It allows the DSV data to be specified as one or more filenames on the command line, or given via the standard input of the program.</p>

<p>This recipe shows how to create a simple binary file split utility in Python.</p>
<p>It takes two command line arguments: 1) the name of the input file to split , 2) the number of bytes per file into which to split the input.</p>

</p>
<p>This recipe shows how to create a simple version of the Unix split command in Python. The split command splits an input file into multiple smaller files, the size of each of which is specified by a command-line argument giving the number of lines per file. This is useful for multiple purposes, such as editing large files in pieces, backing up files to small capacity storage devices, sending files across the network, etc.</p>

<p>When trying to work with Linux archive downloaded onto Windows, sometimes it is helpful to untar all found archives, give extension-less files the "txt" extension, and convert text files to Windows line endings (\r\n), and that is just what this program is designed to accomplish. This is committed for archival to be run under Python 2.5 or later versions.</p>
