parcels

A tool and library to parse URLs. If you say that fast enough, it sounds like parcels.

This is mainly intended for use in mail filters.

Usage

cat EMAIL | parcels

This will...

1. re-prints EMAIL with URLs replaced by indices
2. print a postscript of indexed URLs

cat EMAIL | parcels -n 0

This will...

1. try to find the first URL in EMAIL and re-print just that URL
2. otherwise print nothing

I personally consider this project to be derivative, therefore I am keeping the GPL v2 license of the urlscan project.
