Re: [chuck-users] chuck shell... --> My vim usage

From: kurt I like the Mini but I really like Vim. That is really the only reason I use the shell.

When I heard mention of vim I thought I would share what I use to test chuck code snippets, directly from inside vim. To get alignment, be sure to view the following with a fixed-width font. It consists of one bash script, a symbolic link, and, on Win, a .bat file. In the main bash script below, the second 'cat' line returns the same stdin chuck code lines back into vim, followed then by chuck's stdout. (Of course, you also hear the chuck output, if any.) I'm sorry to say that after days of trying, I could not get chuck to play, and also deliver its stdout in just one invocation, hence the two chuck.exe lines. FILE ~/bin/chuck_execution_in_vi (Win version) #! /bin/bash # chuck_execution_in_vi -- Typically used in vi as: # :'a,.!chu to leave original lines and also # return Chuck execution output. tmp="/tmp/tmp.chu.ck.$$" cat > $tmp cat $tmp cmd /c start "`cygpath -w ~/bin/chuck.exe`" $tmp "`cygpath -w ~/bin/chuck.exe`" --silent $tmp \ 2>&1 | tr -d '\015' rm -f $tmp exit TESTS: Sit on next line in vim and type :.!chu <<< "Hello" >>>; You should see in vim after the '<<<' code line: "Hello" : (string) Sit on 'now' line and type :-,.!chu SinOsc s => dac; 1::second => now; FILE ~/bin/chuck_execution_in_vi (Mac version) #! /bin/bash # chuck_execution_in_vi tmp="/tmp/tmp.chu.ck.$$" cat > $tmp cat $tmp chuck $tmp 2>&1 rm -f $tmp On Mac and Win (cygwin) I have this symbolic link to cut down on typing: ~/bin/chu -> ~/bin/chuck_execution_in_vi On Win, I also need this parallel .bat file: (I set the 2 env vars in my .profile) FILE ~/bin/chu.bat @ECHO OFF PATH %WPROGRAMS%\cygwin\bin;%PATH% %WPROGRAMS%\cygwin\bin\bash %WHOME%\bin\chu %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 Of course, this only works well if the chuck code terminates on its own. I don't know what this can do for --loop or shreds but it may give you some ideas. Incidentally, on both Mac and Win I have QuicKeys, so I just do 'ma' (to mark the snippet beginning) move to the end, and type Ctrl-Shift-C , which simply types :'a,.!chu for me. -Bill
