Escaper

A simple CLI tool to escape and unescape special character sequences.

Main Uses

I created this to make command line/terminal web scraping easier, especially since I wanted to use Google Translate as a tts reader.

Usage

Escapes (or unescapes) special character sequences and prints the result to stdout.

Usage: escaper [OPTIONS] [SEQUENCES...]

   -                            Reads SEQUENCES from stdin.
