Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Display environment vars only, using set

Normally the bash builtin command 'set' displays all vars and functions. This just shows the vars. Useful if you want to see different output then env or declare or export.

Alias 'sete' shows sets variables

alias sete='set|sed -n "/^`declare -F|sed -n "s/^declare -f \(.*\)/\1 ()/p;q"`/q;p"'

Alias setf shows the functions.

alias setf='set|sed -n "/^`declare -F|sed -n "s/^declare -f \(.*\)/\1 ()/p;q"`/,\$p"'

At the very least, some cool sed commands!

Convert GoogleCL gmail contacts to cone adress book

Full Command:

google contacts list name,name,email|perl -pne 's%^((?!N\/A)(.+?)),((?!N\/A)(.+?)),([a-z0-9\._-]+\@([a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]\.)+([a-z]+\.)?([a-z]+))%${1}:${3} <${5}>%imx'|grep -oP '^((?!N\/A)(.+?)) <[a-z0-9\._-]+\@([a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]\.)+([a-z]+\.)?([a-z]+)>' | sort

You'll need googlecl and python-gdata. First setup google cl via:

google

Then give your PC access

google contacts list name,email

Then do the command, save it or use this one to dump it in the cone-address.txt file in your home dir:

google contacts list name,name,email | perl -p -n -e 's%^((?!N\/A)(.+?)),((?!N\/A)(.+?)),([a-z0-9\._-]+\@([a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]\.)+([a-z]+\.)?([a-z]+))%${1}:${3} <${5}>%imx' | grep -o -P '^((?!N\/A)(.+?)) <[a-z0-9\._-]+\@([a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]\.)+([a-z]+\.)?([a-z]+)>' | sort > ~/cone-adress.txt

Then import into cone.

It filters out multiple emails, and contacts with no email that have N/A. (Picasa photo persons without email for example...)
