General :: Sorting In Vi Editor & Copying To Clipboard
May 6, 2010
(1)There should be a command to send content to clipboard instead of 36 buffers available in vi just like ':set paste' allows pasting from clipboard inside vi using ctrl+shift+v in insert mode.(Currently I select area using mouse & right click then copy )
2)Let us say I have sentence "I am young" I want to arrange the words in this line in alphabetical order so that I get 'am I young'. First I thought replacing space by in sentence.Then !#j then type sort -n where # represents number of words.Then #J to join the filteredlines.It works but now I have file with hundreds of sentence of varying length.If I make a macro how will it know the number of words?

I am working on an application in Motif and C++, which uses an XRT Table. With the XRT Table being an infrequently used product, it is hard to find good documentation on it, and one area in particular is sorely lacking... a good explanation on how to copy text from the table to the clipboard used by other X11 applications. I've come across an example application that demonstrates how to copy text to the clipboard, but I cannot seem to merge that knowledge with what I'm provided with the XRT Table API. Does anyone have any knowledge in using the XRT Table, and in particular, with copying selected fields within the table to the clipboard?

How do you set up a command just to copy a file's full path name (%F) onto the clipboard?(I can't seem to get this without copying the contents of the file.)

I'd like to have a Linux machine run what Windows users typically call a clipboard as a network service on my small LAN (about 10 machines). More specifically I am looking to have Linux run the clipboard service centrally in the LAN with both Windows and *nix machines able to connect to it as opposed to the peer-to-peer sync model that I am seeing in almost all of the applications I've discovered thus far.

I am trying to sort a file, so I can compare it to another file later. I am storing the file name in a variable called curMo. I then call sort $curMo and it hangs for a very long time and I have to quit the process. why this is not working or how to make it work?
Here is part of my code:
#sort this file for this Location
sort -u $curMo -o $curMo.sorted

I love using htop, but I have noticed that whenever I sort by a parameter (for example, Shift+m for sorting by Memory usage), the htop stats stop dynamically refreshing. Is this intended? I also notice this with top as well.

The command: Code: ls -lRt Shows a recusrive listing, and sorts by modification time. But this in in tree fashion, where it first lists the contents of the current folder sorted by time, and then the contents of each child folder sorted by time. How would one accomplish this type of sort, but with an aggregate listing - all items recursively sorted together, rather than by individual folder?

I have a program that prints out lines like:
And I want to be able to pipe it to sort on that third column, by letter first, then number. But I keep coming getting files sorted like:
(field separations all start at same place, so columns are not jagged like above.)
I have read the sort man pages, and have tried -n for the numbers, and -k for the position to start sorting, among other things. I also tried inputting a second position to start sorting, which sort should supposedly refer to if the two entries are identical at the first place being compared, but it seems to just ignore the second one. I just can't get it to sort the numbers properly...
For now I am manually opening the file in emacs and changing them around, needless to say, very time consuming.

I am dragging my files over to a new Fedora 12 installation and I just noticed that special characters are not taken into account when sorting files by name (I want '_js' to come before 'images').Is there a way to make the sorting process behave like Windows, where files starting with a special character are listed first?

I want to copy a highlighted field to the clipboard (not the copy/paste within vim but the clipboard that can be pasted outside of vim). I can do this by using the mouse but using the visual command (v) and then the yank command (y) does not do that.Is there a way to do this without the mouse?

I would like to set Y and P to copy and paste directly to the system clipboard instead of vim buffer. I don't want any additional commands. Just the normal ones, but they should copy to and paste from the system clipboard and bypass the vim buffer.

How can rich text or HTML source code be obtained from the X clipboard? For example, if you copy some text from a web browser and paste it into kompozer, it pastes as HTML, with links etc. preserved. However, xclip -o for the same selection just outputs plain text. I'd like to pull the HTML out and into a text editor.

I use the Actions feature of KDE's Klipper utility to run certain commands when I copy something into the clipboard that matches a particular regular expression. Unfortunately, I have to turn on Enable Clipboard Actions and select the command from a menu every time I copy something that I want to run the command on. I'd like to have that command run automatically instead.
You'd think this was possible, as there is an automatic checkbox in the action settings dialog box:
Unfortunately, that appears to do nothing. The documentation included with Klipper does not indicate what that checkbox is supposed to do.
Is it possible to configure Klipper to run a command automatically if the contents of the clipboard matches a regular expression? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?

On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.

I have a bunch of text logfiles in the following format:
ID (17 characters)
Timestamp (14 characters YYYYmmddHHMMSS e.g. "20060210100040" -> 2006/02/10 10:00:40)
Random data (? characters)
end of line
The files are already sorted by timestamp.I need to get 1 log file with all the logs from multiple logs files, sorted by timestamp. Note that the log files are really huge, around 3-4G each (and there are dozens of them) I tried the following command:
sort -s -m -t '|' -k1n,1n +17 -o data_sort.txt *.TXT
Here is how I ended up with this command:
-s : don't bother with tie results
-m : merge all logs files
-t '|' : there is no | in my logs, so the whole line should be field 1
[code]....
Actually... it fails miserably. The output file data_sort.txt is just the concatenation of all files, not sorted at all.

I download files onto my networked file server which is running Ubuntu 9.10.By default, all files are moved into the Downloads folder, I'd like to use a script or program to automatically send them into one of 5 shared folders based on what the file is.For example: archived files would be software by default, .avi or mpeg Videos, and .flac or .ogg would be Music.

I have a list of list and I'd like to sort the list according to the last value of each row.
Let's say we have the list
L1 = [ [1,2] , [4,6] , [78,-3] ]
I wish to get
L2 = [ [78,-3] , [1,2] , [4,6] ]
Is there a simple way to do that in python?

I have this dictionary file that has this format:
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE, Real Value
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_2, Real Big Value
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL, Hardware Abstract
SUBSTITUTE_V, Valley Mem
I want to sort this file so the LONGEST Substitute Values are listed at the top ( so SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL would be first in the list). Obviously I want to keep the related values tagging along with them, so the whole first line would be
SUBSTITUTE_VALUE_HECL, Hardware Abstract
Playing with sort This has me pretty close: sort dict.file -k1.1n,1
