fromCodePoint

Create a string from a sequence of Unicode code points.

Installation

To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally

npm install -g @stdlib/string-from-code-point-cli

Usage

Usage: from-code-point [options] [<code_point> <code_point> ...]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --split sep           Delimiter for stdin data. Default: '/\\r?\\n/'.

Notes

• If the split separator is a regular expression, ensure that the split option is either properly escaped or enclosed in quotes.

  # Not escaped...
  $ echo -n $'97\n98\n99' | from-code-point --split /\r?\n/
  
  # Escaped...
  $ echo -n $'97\n98\n99' | from-code-point --split /\\r?\\n/

• The implementation ignores trailing delimiters.

Examples

$ from-code-point 9731
☃

To use as a standard stream,

$ echo -n '9731' | from-code-point
☃

By default, when used as a standard stream, the implementation assumes newline-delimited data. To specify an alternative delimiter, set the split option.

$ echo -n '97\t98\t99\t' | from-code-point --split '\t'
abc
