Find common bigrams

Bigrams are 2-letter combos. When designing a keyboard layout, it's common to optimize for comfort and speed by analyzing bigrams. Here's a simple shell script to do a quick-and-dirty bigram analysis.

Fish Wordle Helper

Wordle is a simple word game where you try to guess a 5-letter word each day. This gist contains a small Fish function to help you narrow down the list of possible answers based on the scores from each guess.

How To Play

Guess the Wordle in 6 tries.

Each guess must be a valid 5-letter word.
The color of the tiles will change to show how close your guess was to the word.

Pipetest

clitest and stdin don't always work well together. StackOverflow wasn't much help (shocked pikachu)! Buried deep in the interwebs is the bash advice to check for a TTY and whether stdin was piped with this: if [ ! -t 0 ] && [ -p /dev/stdin ];. Using this, I wanted to see how to do something similar in Python to make clitest work. Even deeper on the internet was this gem, which led me to the answer - use stat in Python to test whether stdin is a FIFO (pipe).

Thus, the answer to this hours long search is simply this function:

	# Use %N in a file
	0=${(%):-%N}
	echo "dollar zero: $0"

	# Use :a to get the absolute path
	echo "dollar zero abs path: ${0:a}"

	# Use :A to get the absolute path resolving symlinks
	echo "dollar zero abs path: ${0:A}"

	# Fish-like contains (https://fishshell.com/docs/current/cmds/contains.html)
	contains() {(
	while getopts "i" opt; do
	case "$opt" in
	i) o_index=1 ;;
	*) return 1 ;;
	esac
	done
	shift $(( OPTIND - 1 ))

	# convert piped input to args
	if [[ ! -t 0 ]] && [[ -p /dev/stdin ]] && (( $# == 0 )); then
	set -- "${(@f)$(cat)}"
	fi
