Utilities

Repo where I keep all the utilities I write for myself.

Current Utilities

1. Line Copy (lin_cpy.py)
   • This utility copies specified lines of text from file into clipboard.
   • By default, the tool finds the latest edited file in the current directory.
   • User can also specify a file (or filepath) to copy from.
2. TBD...

Key Assumptions

1. I'm using Ubuntu Linux, hence, I'm sure these utilities won't work on Windows and may fail on Mac.
2. I've pre-installed xclip for copying text into clipboard directly from terminal.
3. I have Python version 3.13+ already installed on my system.
