General :: First Column Of Vim Highlighted Yellow And Won't Go Away?
Feb 23, 2011
I have not defined a user vimrc, OS is redhat 4.6 and after a search and replace the first column in the editor is highlighted yellow and it stays that way as I close and open vim. This is the /etc/vimrc that came on the system. anyone see a bug or a reason it would do that?
if v:lang =~ "utf8$" || v:lang =~ "UTF-8$"
set fileencodings=utf-8,latin1
endif
set nocompatible " Use Vim defaults (much better!)
i use this script to get the time and date of back and fourth transactions for a particular execution id. I use a substr command on the 5th column to to cut the milli seconds off the time value. - otherwise the times would look like 08:30:04.235
So I gave the following permission using sudo su to some directories: sudo a+x -R ~/<SOME FOLDER>/* sudo a+w -R ~/<SOME FOLDER>/*
After doing this, I can access write and read all directories but my terminal shows these folders highlighted and I really dont like this. Is there any way they can look like before (with no highlights)?
I want to generate HTML files in batch to show some gvim colorschemes in action. I took my current solution from the script at but this will open open a gvim window for each colorscheme I want to process. So far, the only way I have found to avoid the annoying new windows that pop up every second is to start a VNCserver and set the DISPLAY environment variable to that of the VNCserver so that all gvim windows are sent to the display within the VNC session.However, I would like to know if there is a way I can avoid the whole VNC setup and just run a headless gvim instance that does the conversion and exits, with no windows ever being actually displayed.
While seeing any text file in vi mode, yellow patches are appearing on my screen in all spaces. Same are not appearing in cat mode. This is very clumsy to understand the text. How to remove those yellow patches. It seems earlier I have used a command to remove empty lines in between text file and this problem is occurring since then.
I would like to make a file with all these data in one column, like
a1 a2 . .
[code]....
Can it be done with awk or some other command? Also, is it possible then do add another column in front of this one with numbers of the lines (for every previous column), like
Right after a fresh install I went into terminal b4 logging into gnome and after about 10 minutes the screen goes black. I can wiggle the mouse or touch the keyboard and it goes away. I play games with a controller and since I'm not touching the mouse or keyboard this happens every 10 minutes or so. I went into gnome and put screen saver to 2 hours and not to happen when idle but this didn't make it stop. I reinstalled again and it still happens.
i recently installed vlc media player 0.8.6 in yellow dog linux 6.2 on my ps3 by following this procedure..[url]... i then used the firefox add-on mediaplayerconnectivity (0.9.2) to link video files for quick time, real video, flash (flv)etc... to vlc as the default player for these video formats. (note: i had to manually add vlc as the flv default player, b/c mediaplayerconnectivity did not automatically do this.)
now...on videos when i double-click on the little movie film icon to play the streaming file through vcl the player opens, but neither the video or audio play even though i have vlc setup as the default player. i have tried playing some quick time (mov) and windows media video (wmv) streaming video and they work fine. i noticed that there's a new update (0.9.5) for vlc. do i need that update to make sure videos (flv files) video will play? if so, how do i install the 0.9.5 update after downloading it in yellow dog linux 6.2?
I am using export in 'Inkscape' to convert an SVG file to PNG. As I am using a transparent background, the colour of background is automatically set to yellow. I want to change this default colour to white. How can I do this?
I used my computer this morning, but when I returned this evening, I am unable to reach the internet. Also the light on the mobo where the ethernet cable is plugged in is steady yellow.
My limited experience would tell me it is a hardware failure, but it seems so strange with nothing happening during the day. How might I best diagnose the problem?
When browsing around with the terminal, I have noticed that some folder are highlighted against a dark background, and some are not. What does it mean if it is highlighted?
I use vi as the default text editor and one day I pressed a wrong combination of keys on my box while programming in c on vi and the character 'i' got highlighted with a brown box over it. At each and every position in file, not only this even in new files it appears to b highlighted. What should I do to avoid it.
1. when we run od command it displays octal values. But the first column will be always 000000. after that the actual file contents are displayed. Can anyone tell the meaning of that.
2. When we run ls -l command, in the first line of the output, we can see some integer value. What is the significance of that value.
this awk statement only returns the first line, and i cant seems to make it perform in a way to match based on keywords like GREP. Is there any way to make display the other lines which contains "google" also?
It is very important for my research work. For example mydata.txt: id type x y z 1 6 0.474611 0.227223 0.583947 2 4 0.422894 0.22726 0.536791 3 5 0.448963 0.200148 0.560336 4 3 0.386478 0.207721 0.515293 5 6 0.371617 0.22361 0.582206 6 4 0.32123 0.222999 0.534782
How to change second column (type) whose values are 4 and 3 to value 1, so that mydata.text file become: id type x y z 1 6 0.474611 0.227223 0.583947 2 1 0.422894 0.22726 0.536791 3 5 0.448963 0.200148 0.560336 4 1 0.386478 0.207721 0.515293 5 6 0.371617 0.22361 0.582206 6 1 0.32123 0.222999 0.534782
I need to replace a value in a file. For example the content of data.txt file is: 1 1 23 2 1 42 3 2 52 4 2 62 5 1 77 6 1 88 7 2 99 8 1 100
Could I substitute 2 in second column with 3 using awk and or sed or other command so that the data will be change as follow? 1 1 23 2 1 42 3 3 52 4 3 62 5 1 77 6 1 88 7 3 99 8 1 100
I am using Ubuntu 9.04. In Google Chrome (7.0.517.41 beta), Firefox (3.6.11) and Opera (10.63), links are not highlighting properly after clicking them. Either there is no difference, or they are so similar in colour as to be almost indistinguishable (dark blue and slightly darker blue).
I was trying to redirect the output of two variables to different columns of a .csv file in MS excel like this,
Code: echo "$a $b" > abc.csv But I am getting both $a and $b in the same column, is there anything I can use instead of to move the value of $b to the next column? Or is there a good different approach to do it?
I have a text file and I need to replace the 3rd column of that file from row 3 to the end of the file with a column which I have stored in the different text file. For e.g the original file is like given below:
So lets say I wanna replace column 3 from row 3 to row 7 with a data from another file which is given below: 54.00 239.00 53.00 237.00 52.00 165.00 235.0
So the final output file should be like this: a.txt nobla 6 gadf 72.500 1.600 1.800 .850 5.250 8.540 A# rad ang ht prf bk sd dia type blade 1 0.3081 54.00 1.9235 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1613 1 2 0.6509 239.00 2.0316 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1613 4 3 1.0128 53.00 2.1457 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 1 4 1.3748 237.00 2.2598 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 4 5 1.6986 52.00 2.3619 -17.50 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 1 6 1.9347 165.00 2.4364 -17.51 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 5 7 2.1327 235.00 2.4988 -17.34 18.00 -3.00 0.6250 1616 4
And I will post the code whatever i have tried soon. I started with awk and cut commands..but never got it to work and also tried PASTE command too.
What I need to do is to extract one complete column (file size) from the output of ls -lS but while doing so in some rows I have a single space but in some other rows I have 2 or 3 spaces like some file sizes are different with 30 bytes 400 bytes and some 4000 bytes. So when I extract the output of ls using | cut -d ' ' -f5 i get the value which has only one space i.e. I get 4000 as output because 400 has 2 spaces seperated and 30 is 3 spaces separated. So how to get the file size column from the ls output?
