Text to Frank script

frank.go

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"fmt"
	"strings"

	"github.com/alwindoss/morse"
)

func main() {
	input := flag.String("input", "I only love frank", "What you would like to convert to frank speech.")
	flag.Parse()

	userInput := string(*input)

	fmt.Printf("\n\t Original: %s\n", userInput)

	h := morse.NewHacker()
	morseCode, _ := h.Encode(strings.NewReader(userInput))
	fmt.Printf("\nMorse Code: %s\n", morseCode)

	result := strings.ReplaceAll(string(morseCode), ".", "frank")
	second := strings.ReplaceAll(result, "-", "FRANK")
	final := strings.ReplaceAll(second, "/", "")

	fmt.Printf("\n\n\tResult: %s", final)
}

Go is so verbose. Ruby version, with multiline support on stdin, to translate full text files etc.:

# needs "gem install morse"
# encodes STDIN to frank
# example: 
# echo -e "hello\nworld" | ruby encode.rb
# frankfrankfrankfrank frank frankFRANKfrankfrank frankFRANKfrankfrank FRANKFRANKFRANK
# frankFRANKFRANK FRANKFRANKFRANK frankFRANKfrank frankFRANKfrankfrank FRANKfrankfrank

require 'morse'
while line = gets do
    puts Morse.encode(line).gsub(/[\.-]/, '.' => "frank", "-" => "FRANK")
end
