Command line

quntoken reads plain text in UTF-8 from STDIN and writes to STDOUT.

The default (and recommended) format of output is TSV. It has two columns. The first contains the token, the second contains the white space sequence after the token. Sentence boundaries are marked with empty lines.

Example: tokenizing input.txt file, writing the TSV output into output.tsv file.

quntoken <input.txt >output.tsv

Optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FORM, --form FORM  Valid formats: json, tsv, xml and spl (sentence per
                        line). Default format: tsv.
  -m MODE, --mode MODE  Modes: sentence or token. Default: token
  -w, --word-break      Eliminate word break from end of lines.
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
