I want to be able to open Vim and automatically make some commands in normal mode (in this case, open two buffers put a mark in one line on one line, fold another line, and go to the bottom of the file).

Hi. This question concerns running python files in terminal that are not stored in the home directory. I think I have solved the first bit of this puzzle by modifying my path so that it includes the directory where my python programs are stored. So where as initially echo $PATH would yield the following: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:...

I want to automate a job involving font lock mode using Emacs. I want to fontify a file and then convert it to HTML using the colouring of font lock mode. The problem is that Emacs refuses to fontify the file unless it thinks it is running in a terminal. In other words it will not fontify when running under -batch. Is there a way to fool...

I know how to handle the VT100 emulation as far as parsing, etc. But ...

Hi all: 1) I'm using Java to call Linux terminal to run foo.exe and save the output in a file: String[] cmd = {"/bin/sh", "-c", "foo >haha.file"}; Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd); 2) The problem is when I plan to read haha.file later in the code, it hasn't been written yet: File f=new File("haha.file"); // return true in = ne...
Here's an interesting problem: Using the AppleScript method to launch a new command in a Terminal window fails if Terminal is "busy"; more precisely, it will open a new window but fail to run the command. For example, try copy+pasting this line in: osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to do script "foo"'; osascript -e 'tell applica...

I'm new to regular expressions and grep, but I've been trying to learn it to help me when using console tools. I have to use cvs, and when I update some files, I don't need to see files that were't updated or with *.pyc extension for example.
