I recently got involved in a project which uses brain-dead GNU indentation style.
So I need to set vim to 2-char tabs when working on that project, but otherwise I want to keep my original configuration.
Is there a way to have options in .vimrc that depend on the current working directory, so I don't have to switch back and forth manually?
I'm trying to compile a program from source. When I run make the following appears:./ config. status --recheck make: ./config.status: Command not found make: *** [config.status] Error 127.There is no file called config. status in the current directory. Why was it not created?

/media/2TB-DATA/BackUps/Regular/Downloads/Pictures/Family/Me/HiDef/ or something, and ur already browsing through it using the file browser, it would be nice to be able to open up a terminal for that directory.

View 9 Replies View Relatedhow to pipe the current directory listing into sort so that the output is the date in descending order (primary sort key). If there are multiple entries with the same date, I'd like the times sorted in ascending order. It seems simple but for some reason this isn't working:
ls -l | sort -k 6r -k 7
For some reason it doesn't seem to ever get to the second sort key when using column 6 (last modified date).
this is gonna be changed to another thread

I have several directories of subtitles for some videos, but all the text for the subtitles in each file is in uppercase, and I would like to convert the files' content to lowercase, all in one go. I found on a website a bash command that would do each file separately:tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' <input.txt> output.txt but of course involves specifying the input name and output name for each file.I have been trying to do it in a script that would work for all files in the current directory, without having to rename them each time, if that's possible. So far I've got the following, which doesn't work:
#!/bin/bash
for file in $@; do
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
done
However, my web searches cannot locate a way of specifying "each file in current directory" in conjunction with the "tr" command, but also without having to rename the file once converted to lowercase. Is it possible, or would the tr command have to create a new file for each converted file?
