CONFIG

This tool will check for the presence of a config file with the location/name $ENV{HOME}/.normalizer.ini Here you may specify the paths to your custom data files which will override data found in Config classes, one pair per line:

  business_stem /path/to/my_business_stem.txt
  business_stop /path/to/my_business_stop.txt
  # etc.

These values will be checked first, and any --config command line args will override them.

See String::Normal for full list of config keys.

EXAMPLES

  normalizer --value="Jones's & Sons Bakeries" --type=business

  # business is the default type
  normalizer --value="Jones's & Sons Bakeries"

  normalizer --value="123 Main Street" --type=address

  ls -1 | normalizer --type=title --file=-
