✨ JOIN-INTO-GROUPS-OF(1) ✨

okay bestie, so this one's from the NCBI Entrez Direct User's Manual and it's literally one of the most unbothered little filters you'll ever meet 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

join-into-groups-of — joins your input words into groups of N words. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

join-into-groups-of [N]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, join-into-groups-of is a Unix-style filter, meaning it sits in your pipeline, minds its own business, and does one thing gorgeously 😌✨

what it does: it takes its input and splits it into groups of N words. the last group might come out a little short — a partial group, and that's totally fine, she's doing her best 🫶 — because, y'know, the word count doesn't always divide evenly and we're not about to force it.

each group lands on its own line, and inside each group the words are separated by commas. so it's giving very "one group per line, commas holding hands inside" energy 🔥

and if you don't tell it what N is? no stress, it just defaults to 10000. ten thousand. iconic default behavior honestly 👑
