Launch application depending on regex

Plumber

Pass messages between applications. Designed to use with my build of ST.

Description

This program is inspired by the right click to plumb patch for the Simple Terminal.

I started using the patch with surf (lighweight suckless browser) as my plumb command, but after looking at the Plan9 plumbing page, I decided to make my own personal version.

Building

$ git clone https://github.com/8dcc/plumber
$ cd plumber
$ make
...

$ sudo make install
...

Note that the commands on the right are the default ones but can be changed from src/config.h
