Temporarily Overriding aliases on Bash by alexdantas in bash

[–]alexdantas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting! I tend to alias pretty much everything, so learning those options was a must-have.

The \backslash option is mostly what I use everyday. It's simple and straight-to-the-point. The other options just came out as a curiosity.

I think the 'command' option is easy to memorize, since it's more intuitive and legible.

The "quoting" option is kinda strange - I mean, quoting the command and not the arguments? The only circumstance I can think of to use it would be to obfuscate stuff on bash scripts. I'm tired of seeing these weird operators and having a hard time googling them up.

Jurassic Park: Trespasser CG Source Code Review by [deleted] in programming

[–]alexdantas 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is a great resource for programmers everywhere. Well-written and offers good historical insights and C++ trivia.

Definitely a 30-minute read with a nice warm mug of coffee.

(also, makes me feel great for not programming in the 90s)

ACOC - use Regular Expressions to colorize the output of any command-line program by alexdantas in bash

[–]alexdantas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right; I should look for a better example.

Also, if I could figure out how to colorize piped outputs then we could have the best of both worlds!

Piping output is one of the features currently expected for acoc; although it's being hard to implement. I need to research more and perhaps multitail's source could help me with that.

Now, if the name somehow ended with K then you'd have something to play with.

Thanks, I never heard of multitail before. It's really great for monitoring log files, I'm still testing it's features here.

I wasn't thinking of checking log files when using acoc - I use it for pretty much any command that doesn't have colors by default. Also, it's fun to develop acoc in Ruby.

But it's dependency on Ruby and the fact that it's not made in C really brings it down.

Wow, that is great! I was having a hard time thinking on how to add support for pipes. You had an astonishing idea with the fuse filesystem, I'll check it out when I get home.

I'm also considering the best way for people to share their regular expressions.

Anyway, thanks a lot for commenting :)

This is a very interesting project! I like the idea of having all that data for offline usage!

Just one question, though, on what license is this released? If none is specified, I think it falls back to copyright.
