NAME

clipjoin - Remove superfluous spaces from the clipboard.

MOTIVATION

Often you'll copy some stuff, like this: 
   <ingy> hey rking, you should use YBFOD: http://search.cpan
 .org/~ingy/Acme-YBFOD-0.11/

And xterm puts a ``\n'' before that ``.org'' when it goes to your clipboard. This script will cancel that.

Another IRC example is longer quotes:

   <strunk> Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the
       conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities
       exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with enate capacity but
       that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably
       be taken into account. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the
       race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither
       yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor
       yet favour to men of skill, but time and chance happeneth to them all.

If you wanted to quote that to someone, you'd have \n's and `` '''s everywhere, unless you ran ``clipjoin'' first.

An example from mutt:

,-------------------------------------------. | xterm (X) | +-------------------------------------------+ | http://www.thisisalink.com/that/wrapped/ar| |+ound/a/line/and/its/a/pain/without/the/joi| |+inclip/script | `-------------------------------------------'

Becomes: http://www.thisisalink.com/that/wrapped/around/a/line/and/its/a/pain/without/the/clipjoin/script
