# Sprunge plugin
This plugin uploads data and fetch URL from the pastebin http://sprunge.us
To enable it, add 'sprunge' to your plugins:
```
plugins=(... sprunge)
```
## Usage
| Command | Description |
|------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| `sprunge filename.txt` | Uploads filename.txt |
| `sprunge "this is a string"` | Uploads plain text |
| `sprunge < filename.txt` | Redirects filename.txt content to sprunge |
| `echo data \| sprunge` | Any piped data will be uploaded |
Once sprunge has processed the input it will give you a unique HTTP address:
```
$ sprunge "hello"
http://sprunge.us/XxjnKz
```
## Notes
- Sprunge accepts piped data, stdin redirection, text strings as input or filenames.
Only one of these can be used at a time.
- Argument precedence goes as follows: stdin > piped input > text strings.
- If a filename is mispelled or doesn't have the necessary path description, it will NOT
generate an error, but instead treat it as a text string.

NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
* INPUT METHODS *
$0 can accept piped data, STDIN redirection [<filename.txt], text strings following the command as arguments, or filenames as arguments. Only one of these methods can be used at a time, so please see the note on precedence. Also, note that using a pipe or STDIN redirection will treat tabs as spaces, or disregard them entirely (if they appear at the beginning of a line). So I suggest using a filename as an argument if tabs are important either to the function or readability of the code.
* PRECEDENCE *
STDIN redirection has precedence, then piped input, then a filename as an argument, and finally text strings as an arguments.
EXAMPLE:
echo piped | "$0" arguments.txt < stdin_redirection.txt
In this example, the contents of file_as_stdin_redirection.txt would be uploaded. Both the piped_text and the file_as_argument.txt are ignored. If there is piped input and arguments, the arguments will be ignored, and the piped input uploaded.
* FILENAMES *
If a filename is misspelled or doesn't have the necessary path description, it will NOT generate an error, but will instead treat it as a text string and upload it.
