A pipeable TLE parser written in Bash.
This Bash script takes raw two-line element (TLE) set data and turns each record into a comma-separated list of each of the record's fields. The TLE format is used to describe the orbit of a satellite orbiting Earth.
The TLE parser can either have raw TLE data input piped into it:
$ cat "iss.txt" | tle
ISS (ZARYA),25544,U,98,067,A,22,255.73370370,.00008229,00000+0,15112-3,0,999,9,25544,51.6420,262.8647,0002292,226.1291,116.9782,15.50169761,35875,6
$or an input file can be passed as a parameter:
$ tle "iss.txt"
ISS (ZARYA),25544,U,98,067,A,22,255.73370370,.00008229,00000+0,15112-3,0,999,9,25544,51.6420,262.8647,0002292,226.1291,116.9782,15.50169761,35875,6
$Tests are avaialble in the tests directory. A test Bash script has been written to test the TLE parser against the various input files. Simply run:
