How to do it...
The OTS application is easy to use. It reads text from a file or from stdin and generates the summary to stdout.
ots LongFile.txt | less
Or
cat LongFile.txt | ots | less
The OTS application can also be used with curl to summarize information from websites. For example, you can use ots to summarize longwinded blogs:
curl http://BlogSite.org | sed -r 's/<[^>]+>//g' | ots | less
