rargs – xargs + awk with pattern matching support

Think of rargs as similar to xargs and awk with pattern-matching support.

rargs allow you to specify the delimiter (regex) to split the input on, and allows you to refer to the corresponding fields or field ranges. This allows it to be used as an AWK replacement for some simple but common cases.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• Regexp captures – use any regular expression to match the input, and captures anything you are interested in. The syntax is the standard, mostly Perl-compatible Rust regex syntax used by tools such as ripgrep.
• Delimiter captures.
• Field ranges.
• Negative field.
• Multiple threading – run commands in multiple threads to improve performance.
