How can I launch the currently configured editor from the fish shell? That is the editor associated with $EDITOR.
What would a function look like that takes input from the pipeline and opens it in the editor identified by $EDITOR.
What would a function look like that opens a path in $EDITOR from the argument list?
How about something like:
function edit -d "Open a file using $EDITOR"
for file in $argv
if test -e $file
eval $EDITOR $file
echo "Opening file $file"
else
echo "Create file? (y/n)"
read createFile
if test $createFile = "y"
eval $EDITOR -n $file
echo "Creating file $file"
end
end
end
end

$ perl -pe 1 foo && echo ok
Can't open foo: No such file or directory.
ok
I'd really like the perl script to fail when the file does not exist. What's the "proper" way to make -p or -n fail when the input file does not exist?
The -p switch is just a shortcut for wrapping your code (the argument following -e) in this loop:
LINE:
while (<>) {
... # your program goes here
} continue {
print or die "-p destination: $!\n";
}
(-n is the same but without the continue block.)
The <> empty operator is equivalent to readline *ARGV, and that opens each argument in succession as a file to read from. There's no way to influence the error handling of that implicit open, but you can make the warning it emits fatal (note, this will also affect several warnings related to the -i switch):
perl -Mwarnings=FATAL,inplace -pe 1 foo && echo ok
Set a flag in the body of the loop, check the flag in the END block at the end of the oneliner.
perl -pe '$found = 1; ... ;END {die "No file found" unless $found}' -- file1 file2
Note that it only fails when no file was processed.
To report the problem when not all files have been found, you can use something like
perl -pe 'BEGIN{ $files = #ARGV} $found++ if eof; ... ;END {die "Some files not found" unless $files == $found}'
I recently upgraded to fish 3.0.1 via Homebrew 2.0.1 on MacOS Mojave 10.14.2. Since the upgrade, the following error message appears every time fish starts:

What's going on here? How can I fix this?
What happens here is that a component of your $PATH, $fish_user_paths or a line in /etc/paths looks like an option.
Most likely, this is wrong, and you should remove it.
E.g. try printf '%s\n' $fish_user_paths. If that tells you that one of the entries is "-gx", then you've set it incorrectly and need to use set -e fish_user_paths[number-of-that-entry] to correct it.
Since these are all common options to set, you've probably once done something like set fish_user_paths /something -gx, which adds a "-gx" component (set only reads options before the variable name).
This has been reported upstream at https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/5662, and future fish versions won't spew an error, but the existence of the offending component is most likely an error, so you still want to remove it.
I received this excellent answer on how to convert a zsh function to a fish function. Now I have another question. How do I call that function from another function, passing on the argument?
I have tried this:
function ogf
echo "Cloning, your editor will open when clone has completed..."
source (env TARGET_DIRECTORY=~/students EDITOR=$EDITOR clone_git_file -ts $argv[1] | psub)
end
function wogf
env EDITOR=webstorm ogf "$argv[1]"
end
but I get "env: ogf: No such file or directory".
The goal is only to change the EDITOR environment variable for this one execution, and then call ogf.
The env command can only run other external commands. It cannot call shell builtins or functions; regardless whether the shell is fish, bash, or something else. The solution is to define the function being called with the --no-scope-shadowing flag and use set -l in the calling function:
function ogf --no-scope-shadowing
echo "Cloning, your editor will open when clone has completed..."
source (env TARGET_DIRECTORY=~/students EDITOR=$EDITOR clone_git_file -ts $argv[1] | psub)
end
function wogf
set -l EDITOR webstorm
ogf $argv
end
Another option would be to write your function to use its own arguments, as follows:
function ogf
echo "Cloning, your editor will open when clone has completed..."
source (env TARGET_DIRECTORY=~/students EDITOR=$argv[2] clone_git_file -ts $argv[1] | psub)
end
function wogf
ogf $argv[1] 'webstorm'
end
Maybe this is a simpler example on how to call another function while passing arguments:
function foo
bar "hello" "world"
end
function bar
echo $argv[1]
echo $argv[2]
end
Then calling foo will print:
$ foo
hello
world
I am writing a simple Perl program to test a shell script for changing directory. But it doesn't work.
This is my code :
$result = `cd/`;
print $result;
It works fine when I use
$result =`dir`;
If you need to change the cwd directory in your script, then you should use Perl's built-in chdir function.
perldoc -f chdir
cd (by default) doesn't output anything, so you're assigning an empty string to your $result variable.
If you want to output the (full) path of the directory you changed to, simply append && pwd inside the backticks:
$result = `cd / && pwd`;
Note that `...` creates a child process for running the shell with the specified command, so whatever environment changes you perform there - including changing the directory - do NOT affect the Perl script itself.
In other words: you're NOT changing the Perl script's current directory with your shell command.
If your intent is:
to simply test whether the shell command you enclose in `...` succeeds or not, use, the system() function instead; e.g.:
system('cd /') == 0 || die "Command failed";
to capture the output from the shell command, presume it to be a directory path and change the Perl script's working directory to it:
$result = `cd / && pwd` || die "Command failed.";
chomp $result; # trim trailing newline
# Change Perl script's working dir.
chdir $result || die "Could not change to $result.";
To affect the current working directory of the perl process, use the chdir() function.
I would like to create a script that parses all my iPhone application folders and prints (exports into a file) the image names that do not have the #2x image.
Example:
Let's say we have: eaxmple.png but we dont have example#2x.png => it should print example.png since it does not have example#2x.png in it's folder.
Can you please give me good way to start, or any hint?
Thanks.
You can use next bash script for this task
#!/bin/bash
FILES=`find . -name "*.png"`
for file in $FILES
do
if [[ "$file" == *#2x.png ]]
then
continue
fi
RETINA_FILENAME=${file/\.png/#2x\.png}
if test -e $RETINA_FILENAME;
then
continue
fi
echo $file
done
