Comment on Interactive file merging with Unison by jojo

@Dave V
this seems better (only one line, nofork option has two dashes on my system):

merge = Regex .* -> gvimdiff –nofork CURRENT1 CURRENT2

Many thanks. I just spent hours trying to fix it, and your helper did the trick.

Its great that you have improved the functionality even more.

Would it be possible to get a link back to the original entry though if anyone wants the original?

Hey! After writing my own script i searched internet for similar and i found yours. Mine has some features like scrobble after 10 seconds and checking if it’s running again. You can check it here :

Nice class. I am not using CI, but my custom MVC framework, and I modified your class for my framework.

I really appreciate your work, but as listed above the syntax “-o=x” or “–o=x” (and you could also support “-ox” for the same purporse, like the original getopt) would be great.
and instead of the “die” a return (with a new array for unknown/malformed options) would be a nice to have.

Comment on Converting Null by mc

mc — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 23:45:17 +0000

Depends what you are doing I suppose. I was assuming 'cmd' would be something like 'xargs -0' as so: find -type f | 0 | xargs -0 echo Which works exactly the same as: find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 echo I guess it depends on what the command is and how nicely it can process null characters. '0' was originally designed so that programs that do not understand null terminated arguments can work. A good example would be: ls -1 | 0 | xargs -0 echo Where poor 'ls' cannot understand null terminated file names and thus would fail on any file name containing whitespace.

Hm, instead of “find -type f | 0 | cmd | …” you obviously meant “find -type f | cmd | 0 | …”.

Good point.

I think its about time I updated some of this code anyway to allow some of the other functionality listed in these comments.

I’ll try to get something up soon.

This would be perfect for me, except it doesn’t support

php file.php –option=value

Nice idea. I guess I should add a ‘description’ field to the hash to output what each field means.

This was almost exactly what I needed on my current project. Thanks for saving me from writing this myself.

It would be nice if a -h option would dump all this information in a relatively readable form unless -h/–help is otherwise defined.

You’ve got a problem here if a $_POST variable is an array.

Try this:

foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) // Re-write all incoming text into UTF8 streams
if (is_array($val))
$_POST[$key] = array_map(“utf8_encode”, $val);
else
$_POST[$key] = utf8_encode($val);

Comment on Trash with Bash by dragonauta

mc : Oddly Alias based commands do not use aliases themselves. So the rm used in the ‘emptytrash’ is actually the real one.

Wow, I didn't know that... Thanks! @anonymous: thanks you too for that tip.

Why don’t you simply use:

gvfs-trash another-useless-file

It will move file to gnome’s trash. The command is long? alias it to something short like “trash”

Hi, I didn’t try your script yet, but looks like you have a loop

If I’m right,
if you use rm in your function you’ll have an endless loop because the alias “rm=trash”

the line rm -r “$HOME/.trashcan/$1″ should be rm! “$HOME/.trashcan/$1″
because you second alias ‘rm!=/bin/rm -r’

Comment on Interactive file merging with Unison by Dave V

Dave V — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:08:51 +0000

gvimdiff works well for me. unison looks for changes to the temporary files CURRENT1 and CURRENT2 and applies them to the local and remote files respectively. Of course I should be able to get away with just one command, but this worked for my dot files:

merge = Path * -> gvimdiff –nofork CURRENT1 CURRENT2
merge = Path .* -> gvimdiff –nofork CURRENT1 CURRENT2

Thanks. Nice to know this is of use to someone out there.

The correction you mentioned has been made to the above. Thanks for pointing it out.

Cool! This is the only getopt replacement I could find that did accumulators (or bunding as I knew it). There was a typo SGETOPT_ACCUMULATE. Replaced with GETOPT_ACCUMULATE and it seems fine.

Yup, indeed you are correct that there is a project hosted now that replicates this functionality (using the main trashcan to boot). Trash-cli was released after this quick bash script was written. I still prefer the above mainly because: 1) you don't have to install a package (making it portable within the .bashrc file) and 2) Personally I never use the FreeDesktop / Gnome trash-can anyway. Personal preferences rule and all. You are correct that a backslash before any command instructs bash to use the regular command (not an alias), I neglected to mention this in the above article. I much prefer the alarming exclamation mark though to mentally add a 'are you sure you want to do this' stage. Again, merely a personal preference.
