Simple Shell-Script to use dict.leo.org in your shell

Just create a new file like “vim leo”.

Insert the following script code:

`#!/bin/sh

t(){

while -n "$1"; do

T=/tmp/$$.html

lynx -source "http://dict.leo.org/?search=$1"|

grep results >$T

w3m -dump $T

rm $T

shift

done

}

-n "$1"&&\

t "$@"||\

while read -ep dict2> W; do

t $W|more

done`

You need lynx and w3m.

Make the file executable (chmod +x leo)

enjoy 😉

e.g. ./leo Übersetzung

I have found this script somewhere in the internet but I don’t know where, so I can not refrence to the original source. I apologize for this.
