hyphen(1)                                               hyphen(1)



     NAME
          hyphen - find hyphenated words

     SYNOPSIS
          hyphen [files]

     DESCRIPTION
          hyphen finds all the hyphenated words ending lines in files
          and prints them on the standard output.  If no arguments are
          given, the standard input is used; thus, hyphen may be used
          as a filter.

     EXAMPLE
          If the file text.hyphen contains the following text:
               This is an ex-
               ample of the command hy-
               phen, a com-
               mand which finds all hyphen-
               ated words in files and prints them on stan-
               dard out-
               put.
          then

               hyphen text.hyphen

          will return
               ex-ample
               hy-phen
               com-mand
               hyphen-ated
               stan-dard
               out-put

     FILES

     SEE ALSO
          mm(1), nroff(1).

     BUGS
          hyphen cannot cope with hyphenated italic (i.e., underlined)
          words; it will often miss them completely, or mangle them.
          hyphen occasionally gets confused, but with no ill effects
          other than spurious extra output.
