Add times in buffer - emacs

Suppose I have an emacs buffer which contains times in the format minutes'seconds'' and in the format minutes' as well as seconds'' for example 5'30'', 6'15'', 10' and 1''. Is it possible to add all times in the buffer automatically with output (in the minibuffer) in the format minutes'seconds'' (here = 21'46'')?

You can use:
(defun add-times ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(let ((mins 0) (secs 0)
(accum-nums
(lambda (regexp)
(let ((value 0))
(beginning-of-buffer)
(while (re-search-forward regexp nil t)
(setq value (+ value (string-to-int (match-string-no-properties 1)))))
value))))
(setq mins (funcall accum-nums "\\([0-9]+\\)'\\([^']\\|$\\)"))
(setq secs (funcall accum-nums "\\([0-9]+\\)''"))
; adjust > 60 seconds
(setq mins (+ mins (/ secs 60)))
(setq secs (mod secs 60))
(format "%d'%d''" mins secs))))
And you can use it like this: In the buffer of the file with the times, you type ESC: and then evaluate:
(insert (add-times))
If you want a function that does this also, asking for the buffer:
(defun insert-add-times-to-buffer-at-point (buffer)
(interactive "BBuffer to add and insert times: ")
(with-current-buffer buffer
(insert (add-times))))

Is this what you want?
(defun add-times ()
(interactive)
(let ((minutes 0) (seconds 0))
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "\\([0-9]+\\)'\\('\\)?" (point-max) t)
(if (match-string 2)
(setq seconds (+ seconds (string-to-number (match-string 1))))
(setq minutes (+ minutes (string-to-number (match-string 1)))))))
(insert (format "%d'%d''"(+ minutes (/ seconds 60)) (% seconds 60)))))

Switch parts of adjacent lines

I have this code that switch lines up/down:
;; Moving a line up or down
(defun move-text-internal (arg)
(cond
((and mark-active transient-mark-mode)
(if (> (point) (mark))
(exchange-point-and-mark))
(let ((column (current-column))
(text (delete-and-extract-region (point) (mark))))
(forward-line arg)
(move-to-column column t)
(set-mark (point))
(insert text)
(exchange-point-and-mark)
(setq deactivate-mark nil)))
(t
(let ((column (current-column)))
(beginning-of-line)
(when (or (> arg 0) (not (bobp)))
(forward-line)
(when (or (< arg 0) (not (eobp)))
(transpose-lines arg))
(forward-line -1))
(move-to-column column t)))))
(defun move-text-down (arg)
"Move region (transient-mark-mode active) or current line
arg lines down."
(interactive "*p")
(move-text-internal arg))
(global-set-key [M-S-down] 'move-text-down)
(defun move-text-up (arg)
"Move region (transient-mark-mode active) or current line
arg lines up."
(interactive "*p")
(move-text-internal (- arg)))
(global-set-key [M-S-up] 'move-text-up)
I was wondering if it is possible to tweak the move-text-internal function so it is possible to move part of line "after cursor" up or down.
Here is an example:
Before:
A X B W
Q E O P
If cursor was after X on the first line, after M-S-down:
A X O P
Q E B W
UPDATE:
Thanks to Jordan Biondo for the the his code and function.
I tweaked it to keep line moving as long as you keep invoking the command.
(defun flip-text (&optional arg)
"Flip the text from point to the end of the current line with the text
in the next line from the same column to the end of the next line.
With a prefix arg, flip text with the line above the current."
(interactive "p")
(save-excursion
(let ((tt (delete-and-extract-region (point) (point-at-eol)))
(c (current-column)))
(forward-line arg)
(move-to-column c)
(insert tt)
(let ((ot (delete-and-extract-region (point) (point-at-eol))))
(forward-line (- arg))
(goto-char (point-at-eol))
(insert ot)
))
)
(previous-line (- arg))
)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-z") (lambda ()
(interactive)
(flip-text 1)))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-c") (lambda ()
(interactive)
(flip-text -1)))
This will do what you specified but does not do multiple lines.
(defun flip-text-to-eol (&optional up)
"Flip the text from point to the end of the current line with the text
in the next line from the same column to the end of the next line.
With a prefix arg, flip text with the line above the current."
(interactive "P")
(save-excursion
(let ((tt (delete-and-extract-region (point) (point-at-eol)))
(c (current-column)))
(forward-line (if up -1 1))
(move-to-column c)
(insert tt)
(let ((ot (delete-and-extract-region (point) (point-at-eol))))
(forward-line (if up 1 -1))
(goto-char (point-at-eol))

Per newsgroup timezone in Date: header

How to configure emacs/gnus to use per newsgroup time zone in posted messages?
I would like to use CET time zone in pl.* newsgroups and UCT in general newsgroups.
I would use message-header-setup-hook or message-send-hook with this function:
(defvar date-rewrite-rules
'(("pl" . return-time-string-in-CET)
("." . return-time-string-in-UTC)))
(defun rewrite-date-based-on-newsgroup ()
(save-excursion
(save-restriction
(widen)
(goto-char 0)
(narrow-to-region 0 (search-forward mail-header-separator))
(goto-char 0)
(search-forward-regexp "^Newsgroup: ")
(let ((date-f nil)
(tail date-rewrite-rules))
(while (and (null date-f)
tail)
(let ((rule (pop tail)))
(when (looking-at (car rule))
(setq date-f (cdr rule)))))
(when date-f
(goto-char 0)
(search-forward-regexp "^Date: ")
(delete-region (point) (line-end-position))
(insert (funcall date-f)))))))
NB: the code is untested, this is merely a starting point from which you should develop your solution.

How to use calendar-cursor-to-visible-date without switching to *Calendar*

I have not been able to figure out why with-current-buffer or set-buffer does not work with the function calendar-cursor-to-visible-date. I would like the function to work without actually switching to the calendar window -- i.e., it should work even when the buffer is buried. I've tried sit-for 0, but that had no affect.
I've included a broken-example using with-current-buffer and a working-example using select-window.
EDIT:  I found a similar issue on an Emacs mailing list from March 2005: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2005-03/msg00170.html  I'll do some more testing, but the following line of code fixes the broken-example -- it goes immediately after (calendar-cursor-to-visible-date date).
(set-window-point (get-buffer-window "*Calendar*" (selected-frame)) (point)))
(defun broken-example (&optional month year)
(interactive)
(delete-other-windows)
(if (get-buffer "*Calendar*")
(kill-buffer "*Calendar*"))
(calendar)
(other-window 1)
(when (get-buffer "*Calendar*")
(with-current-buffer (get-buffer "*Calendar*")
(calendar-generate-window month year)
(let ((old-date (calendar-cursor-to-date))
(today (calendar-current-date)))
(cond
((and
(calendar-date-is-visible-p old-date)
(not (equal old-date today)))
(calendar-cursor-to-visible-date old-date))
((calendar-date-is-visible-p today)
(calendar-cursor-to-visible-date today))
(t
(calendar-cursor-to-visible-date (list month 1 year))))))))
(defun working-example (&optional month year)
(interactive)
(delete-other-windows)
(if (get-buffer "*Calendar*")
(kill-buffer "*Calendar*"))
(calendar)
(other-window 1)
(when (get-buffer "*Calendar*")
(select-window (get-buffer-window "*Calendar*" (selected-frame)))
(calendar-generate-window month year)
(let ((old-date (calendar-cursor-to-date))
(today (calendar-current-date)))
(cond
((and
(calendar-date-is-visible-p old-date)
(not (equal old-date today)))
(calendar-cursor-to-visible-date old-date))
((calendar-date-is-visible-p today)
(calendar-cursor-to-visible-date today))
(t
(calendar-cursor-to-visible-date (list month 1 year)))))))
Here's my recommendation:
(with-selected-window (or (get-buffer-window (current-buffer) 0)
(selected-window))
(calendar-cursor-to-visible-date date))
Of course, calling set-window-point after the fact is a perfectly acceptable alternative as well.
December 25, 2013:  First working draft of the revised function calendar-cursor-to-visible-date, which uses set-window-point:
(defun lawlist-calendar-cursor-to-visible-date (date)
"Move the cursor to DATE that is on the screen."
(let* (
(month (calendar-extract-month date))
(day (calendar-extract-day date))
(year (calendar-extract-year date))
(buffer (buffer-name)))
(goto-char (point-min))
(forward-line (+ calendar-first-date-row -1
(/ (+ day -1
(mod
(- (calendar-day-of-week (list month 1 year))
calendar-week-start-day)
7))
7)))
(move-to-column (+ calendar-left-margin (1- calendar-day-digit-width)
(* calendar-month-width
(1+ (calendar-interval
displayed-month displayed-year month year)))
(* calendar-column-width
(mod
(- (calendar-day-of-week date)
calendar-week-start-day)
7))))
(if (get-buffer-window buffer (selected-frame))
(set-window-point (get-buffer-window buffer (selected-frame)) (point)))))

How do I convert a string of hex into ASCII using elisp?

Today I received a reply to one of my emails in the form of a string of hex bytes:
"686170707920333974682068617665206120676f6f64206f6e6521"
And I was thinking of the most efficient clean way to convert the string into it's ASCII equivalent. I'll add my answer to the question but I didn't feel it was as elegant as it could have been.
Here's an iterative solution
(defun decode-hex-string (hex-string)
(let ((res nil))
(dotimes (i (/ (length hex-string) 2) (apply #'concat (reverse res)))
(let ((hex-byte (substring hex-string (* 2 i) (* 2 (+ i 1)))))
(push (format "%c" (string-to-number hex-byte 16)) res)))))
And one using loop, if you're looking to avoid side-effect operations (you may need to (require 'cl) in order to use this one):
(defun decode-hex-string (hex-string)
(apply #'concat
(loop for i from 0 to (- (/ (length hex-string) 2) 1)
for hex-byte = (substring hex-string (* 2 i) (* 2 (+ i 1)))
collect (format "%c" (string-to-number hex-byte 16)))))
In general, it's best to avoid recursion in Elisp and Common Lisp; your stack is going to keel over with a big enough input, and neither language guarantees tail recursion (which you aren't using, but still). In Scheme, it's a different story.
Incidentally, Happy 39th.
For those that come here searching...
Elaborating a bit on Inaimathi's answer, here's the code to replace the selected region with the decoded hexa:
(defun decode-hex-string (hex-string)
(apply #'concat
(loop for i from 0 to (- (/ (length hex-string) 2) 1)
for hex-byte = (substring hex-string (* 2 i) (* 2 (+ i 1)))
collect (format "%c" (string-to-number hex-byte 16)))))
(defun hex-decode-region (start end)
"Decode a hex string in the selected region."
(interactive "r")
(save-excursion
(let* ((decoded-text
(decode-hex-string
(buffer-substring start end))))
(delete-region start end)
(insert decoded-text))))
(provide 'decode-hex-string)
(provide 'hex-decode-region)
Save that on a file and then M-x load-file. Or put on ~/emacs.d, or whatever. Then select the region with the hexa contents and M-x hex-decode-region. Enjoy!
If you use Magnar Sveen's dash.el list API (and you should), try:
(concat (--map (string-to-number (concat it) 16) (-partition 2 (string-to-list "686170707920333974682068617665206120676f6f64206f6e6521"))))
the solution uses Emacs functions string-to-number, string-to-list and concat, and dash.el functions -partition and anaphoric version of -map. What's good about concat is that it concatenates not only strings, but lists or vectors of characters too. We can rewrite this code using ->> threading macro. It takes the result of 1st argument, then applies it to 2nd, 3rd, etc arguments, just like Unix pipe.
(->> (string-to-list "686170707920333974682068617665206120676f6f64206f6e6521")
(-partition 2)
(--map (string-to-number (concat it) 16))
concat)
Building the answers provided by Inaimathi and
Shrein, I also added an encode function. Here is an implementation of both encode and decode, for both string and region arguments:
;; ASCII-HEX converion
(defun my/hex-decode-string (hex-string)
(let ((res nil))
(dotimes (i (/ (length hex-string) 2) (apply #'concat (reverse res)))
(let ((hex-byte (substring hex-string (* 2 i) (* 2 (+ i 1)))))
(push (format "%c" (string-to-number hex-byte 16)) res)))))
(defun my/hex-encode-string (ascii-string)
(let ((res nil))
(dotimes (i (length ascii-string) (apply #'concat (reverse res)))
(let ((ascii-char (substring ascii-string i (+ i 1))))
(push (format "%x" (string-to-char ascii-char)) res)))))
(defun my/hex-decode-region (start end)
"Decode a hex string in the selected region."
(interactive "r")
(save-excursion
(let* ((decoded-text
(my/hex-decode-string
(buffer-substring start end))))
(delete-region start end)
(insert decoded-text))))
(defun my/hex-encode-region (start end)
"Encode a hex string in the selected region."
(interactive "r")
(save-excursion
(let* ((encoded-text
(my/hex-encode-string
(buffer-substring start end))))
(delete-region start end)
(insert encoded-text))))
Here's mine. I'm not claiming this is particularly idiomatic or elegant, either. Maybe a bit old-skool.
(defun hex-string-decode (str)
"Decode STR of the form \"4153434949\" to corresponding \"ASCII\"."
(let (decoded sub)
(while (> (length str) 0)
(setq sub (substring str 0 2)
decoded (cons (string-to-number sub 16) decoded)
str (substring str 2) ) )
(when (not (zerop (length str))) (error "residue %s" str))
(mapconcat #'char-to-string (nreverse decoded) "") ) )
At first I didn't see a requirement that it must be Elisp, so I did it interactively and the code below follows my interactive procedure.
(defun decode-hex-string (hex-string)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-char 32 (/ (length hex-string) 2))
(beginning-of-buffer)
(hexl-mode)
(hexl-insert-hex-string hex-string 1)
(hexl-mode-exit)
(buffer-string)))
This was the solution I came up with which struck me as a bit ugly:
(defun decode-hex-string(string)
"Decode a hex string into ASCII"
(let* ((hex-byte (substring string 0 2))
(rest (substring string 2))
(rest-as-string (if (> (length rest) 2)
(decode-hex-string rest)
"")))
(format "%c%s" (string-to-number hex-byte 16) rest-as-string)))

Emacs calendar: show more than 3 months?

In Emacs, when you display the calendar with M-x calendar, you get a three-month display – last month, this month, and next month – in a new window that's just 8 lines tall.
Is it possible to generate a twelve-month calendar in a full-size window?

(require 'cl)
(require 'calendar)
(defun twelve-month-calendar ()

You might need to tweak it a bit, depending on your screen/font size.
I modified "12-MONTH CALENDAR -- SCROLLS BY MONTH (FORWARDS / BACKWARDS)" answer and adapted it to Emacs post 23.3 version - no calendar-for-loop macro - and changed scroll from by one month to by one year. This version show entire calendar for current year. Going backwards which < and forwards > by one year. It doesn't show on full screen, but half screen, which make it easy to use when working which vertical splits and it's more like extended version of build in calendar.

It's not easy to do this, the code to generate calendar is:
(defun calendar-generate (month year)
"Generate a three-month Gregorian calendar centered around MONTH, YEAR."
;; A negative YEAR is interpreted as BC; -1 being 1 BC, and so on.
;; Note that while calendars for years BC could be displayed as it
;; stands, almost all other calendar functions (eg holidays) would
;; at best have unpredictable results for such dates.
(if (< (+ month (* 12 (1- year))) 2)
(error "Months before January, 1 AD cannot be displayed"))
(setq displayed-month month
displayed-year year)
(erase-buffer)
(calendar-increment-month month year -1)
(dotimes (i 3)
(calendar-generate-month month year
(+ calendar-left-margin
(* calendar-month-width i)))
(calendar-increment-month month year 1)))
Here, (dotimes (i 3) ...) generate 3 months in a row.
So if you want to generate more than 3 months in more than 1 row, you must override calendar-generate function by yourself, same as #Luke said.
