It's the same command as submitted, but first with a command to make all characters green. It's the only way it looked "matrix-like" on my gnome-terminal.

Another wall matrix :)

gemInst.sh:

#!/bin/bash

for i in $@; do

if [ "$1" != "$i" ]

then

echo /newInstall/gem install $1 -v=\"$i\"

/newInstall/gem install $1 -v="$i"

if [ "$?" != "0" ]

then

echo -e "\n\nGEM INSTALL ERROR: $1\n\n"

echo "$1" > gemInst.err

fi

fi

done

When you use a "for" construct, it cycles on every word. If you want to cycle on a line-by-line basis (and, well, you can't use xargs -n1 :D), you can set the IFS variable to .

In my job I often have to deal with moving 100,000 files or more. A mv won't do it because there are too many. This will move everything in the current directory to the target path.

add it in ~/.bashrc

A little messy, but functional. Requires vim >= 7.x.

Update - now fixed.

There's probably a more efficient way to do this rather than the relatively long perl program, but perl is my hammer, so text processing looks like a nail.

This is of course a lot to type all at once. You can make it better by putting this somewhere:

Then, to look up any command, you can do this:

This is similar to http://www.colivre.coop.br/Aurium/CLFUSearch except that it's just one line, so more in the spirit of CLF, in my opinion.

this command searches for a keyword or an expression in a path and avoids versionned files

By putting the "-not \( -name .svn -prune \)" in the very front of the "find" command, you eliminate the .svn directories in your find command itself. No need to grep them out.

You can even create an alias for this command:

Now you can do things like

What happens if there is more than a single space between words, or spaces and tabs? This command will remove duplicate spaces and tabs.

The "-r" switch allows for extended regular expressions. No additional piping necessary.

"xclip -o" to get the clipboard content, alternatively [shift key] + insert or middle button of your mouse.
