Hi,
I look for a way to ease writing of for loops. I often have commands like
for i in other_files.*; do cmp file $i; done
On Dec 06, Stephane Chazelas posted a mail in the thread “avoid
interpretation of special characters” that gave me an idea:
accept-line()
{
case "$BUFFER" in
*"++"*)
local repl
repl=${${BUFFER#*++}%%++*}
BUFFER="for i in $repl; do ${BUFFER/++$repl++/\$i}; done"
esac
zle .accept-line
}
zle -N accept-line
With this I can write “cmp file ++other_files.*++” and all is done. Or
“(cd ++*++; cvs up)” to update all cvs repositories.
Is there a better way to do this? Can I somehow improve my little
function?
Bye and thanks for the best shell on earth, Jörg.
