Leftify

Indent text to the left a set number of spaces. A scenario that fits this would be posting code to stackoverflow or reddit where indentation is needed.

Disclaimer

Use at your own risk! I am not responsible any damage to your file or fystem. If you are not sure this will work for you, install it on a vagrant vm and give it a try there. You can use the Vagrantfile that is in this repo to take care of configuring a useable vm.

Usage

Defaults to 4 space indent

printf "Hello
World" | leftify

produces:

    Hello
    World

Override the default number of spaces (say 40 spaces)

printf "Hello
World" | SPACES=30 fcode

produces:

                                                            Hello
                                                            World
