TextMate: Search a Current Folder

phalkunz — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:14:30 +0000

This is a script for finding a string in files under a current folder in TextMate. It can be very convenient if you know what you are looking is in a particular folder by saving your time searching each file individually or going through a long list of the search result produced by ‘Find in Project’ function.

# Search text in files under the current folder

# input dialog box

res=$(CocoaDialog inputbox --title "Search Folder" \

--informative-text "Enter a search string:" \

--button1 "Okay" --button2 "Cancel")

# get the actual search string

SEARCH=$(tail -n1 &lt;&lt;&lt;"$res")

# search and replace regular expression

MATCH="^\([a-zA-Z/._-]*\):\([0-9]*\):\(.*\)"

REPLACE='<li><a href=\"txmt:\/\/open\/?url=file:\/\/\/\1\&line=\2\">\1 (\2)<\/a> <p>\3<\/p><\/li>'

# output styles

echo "

<style>

body { font-size: 12px; }

li { list-style: none; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding: 10px 5px 5px }

li p { color: #333; margin-left: 1.5em; margin-top: .6em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; }

</style>

"

SELECTED_DIR=$TM_SELECTED_FILE

# if the selected item (path) is a file then get its directory instead

if [ -f "$SELECTED_DIR" ]; then

SELECTED_DIR=`dirname $SELECTED_DIR`;

fi

echo $SELECTED_DIR

echo "<h3>You searched for: <em style=\"color: red\">$SEARCH</em></h3>"

# the search process starts

grep -rn --exclude=*.svn-base "$SEARCH" $SELECTED_DIR | sed  "s/$MATCH/$REPLACE/g"

New Skill To Obtain

phalkunz — Sun, 24 May 2009 05:28:45 +0000

I’ve always been wanting to be able to play a guitar since forever but I hadn’t been able to do so. I had 3 guitar classes in the past but it never worked out. The training was really tough and boring. Each class took me about 3 moths but after those classes I couldn’t even play a song. They all started from the very basic and theoretical lessons (the old way) which I now realized they weren’t suitable for me because I didn’t intent to play in a band anyways.

Recently, while thinking of something to fill up my free time (weekends, of course) I suddenly thought about learning a guitar. I was really hesitant at first because I failed three times already but then I though hey if I wasn’t determined enough to pick up what I really like, what else can I do. If I don’t have “the talent” I just need to try harder. I borrowed a guitar from my flatmate and went online looking for some tutorials and inspirations to get myself started. A week after that, I bought my own one

It’s been a month or so since I started learning to play a guitar. Now I can play 2 songs (”Everything I do” by Bryan Adams and “You and me” by Lifehouse). Oh, when I said “I can play 2 songs” it doesn’t mean that I can play them smoothly and I can play in front of the other people heheh. My strumming is still quite jumpy and chord progression is still slow. However, I would say the progress has been quite good considering it has been only a month and I don’t have much time to practice.

Some advices, don’t give up on what you love. If you find the process of getting there doesn’t work, there must be something wrong in the process. So, change your way of thinking, learning process/method and seek some inspirations. FYI, writing this post is part of my inspiration boosting

Print Color-Coded SVN Status

phalkunz — Sat, 23 May 2009 02:27:52 +0000

I’ve been having difficulty in reading SVN status, which tells you which files in a project have been modified, added, or having a conflict with other developer’s changes. Status code in front of each line alone doesn’t help me quickly identifying one status code from another so I wrote a script to color code the lines with different colors according to their statuses. If you’re having the same issue, feel free to use the code below

#!/usr/bin/python

"""

 Author: Saophalkun Ponlu (http://phalkunz.com)

 Contact: phalkunz@gmail.com

 Date: May 23, 2009

"""

import sys, os, re

# add more status & color codes 

colors = {

    "M": "31",      # red 

    "\?": "32",     # green

    "C": "30;41"    # black on red

}

# build a paramter list

parameters = "";

for i in range(1, sys.argv.__len__()):

    parameters += sys.argv[i] + " ";

status = os.popen('svn st ' + parameters);

for line in status:

    passed = False

    # remove newline character from the line

    line = re.sub("\n", "", line)

    for color in colors:

        match = re.match(color+(" "*6), line)

        if match:   

            os.popen("echo '\E[" + colors[color] + "m" + line + "\E[m'", 'w')

            passed = True

    if(passed):

        continue

    os.popen("echo \"" + line + "\"", 'w')

List All The Commits By A Specific Author

From time to time, I want to see what changes I have committed to a project that I work on. The following is a shell command for doing so.

svn log | grep "author_name" | awk '{print "svn log -"$1}' | bash

Paintball Fun

phalkunz — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 05:16:34 +0000

This is what you get from paintball.

paintball = pain( cuts + bruises ) + excitement + fun

I went paintballing yesterday with a group of around 20 people and it was awesome. I was kinda scared at first because someone gave me the wrong information :p The whole game was divided into 4 or 5 sessions. The last one was nut. Eveyone just kept shooting anyone at all. At one point, I didn’t the paint all hehe. Confronting with other players and continously repeatedly shooting at each other was freaking fun.

Hang Out At Southern Cross

phalkunz — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 06:14:41 +0000

It (South Cross Bar & Restaurant) is a really nice play to hang out. There was a live band and they were playing this song Back to you (audio) and I loved it

Disclaimer: I recorded this song off the live band. If it is considered as an infrigment I am willing to remove this.
