Using grep with find

This is how you can use find to first restrict to all .r files and then use grep on them

find . -name "*.r" -exec grep "rho" '{}' \; -print

Attach files to thunderbird directly from commandline

Install the script ( e.g attach.sh )


#! /bin/bash
#
# Script created by ASID
# Modified by sura
# Attach files to thunderbird

temp=""
count=0
mydir=`pwd`
for i in $*
do
count=$(( $count + 1 ))
if [ $count -eq $# ]
then
temp=${temp}file://${mydir}/${i}
else
temp=${temp}file://${mydir}/${i},
fi
done

echo $temp

if thunderbird -remote "ping()" 2> /dev/null ;
then
thunderbird -remote "xfeDoCommand(composeMessage,attachment='$temp')"
else
thunderbird --compose "attachment='$temp'"
fi

---

Then just issue the command

bash attachs.sh filenames

Setting new keyboard macro in emacs

The process is described here

Here is the final entry in your init.el file.


(fset 'newslide
[?\C-7 ?\C-7 ?% return ?% ?% ?% ?% ?% ?% ?% ? ? ?N ?E ?W ?\S- ?S ?L ?I ?D ?E return ?\C-7 ?\C-7 ?% return return ?\\ ?b ?e ?s ?{ ? ? ?} return return ?\\ ?e ?s return return])
(global-set-key [f8] 'newslide)



Now just press F8 and you will get an entry like

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%% NEW SLIDE

which I used as demarcation while preparing latex slides

WOW you can type so much using just one key stroke :)

The Latex Bibtex cycle and camera ready postscript ( Shell file)

#! /usr/bin/tcsh -f
set file1 = ${1}
echo $file1

set file = $file1:r
latex $file
bibtex $file
latex $file
latex $file
dvips $file -P pdf -G0 -t letter -o
echo done latex bibtex latex latex

Split a postcript file with multiple pages of graphs and generate the code to include them in latex ( Shell file)

set j=1
while ($j <= $total )
psselect $j $file1 $file-$j.ps
echo "written $file-$j.ps"
echo "\includegraphics{$file-$j.ps}" >> $file.txt
set j=`expr $j + 1`
end
end

echo " "
echo " "

echo " Latex Code produced in $file.txt "

Convert all pdf file in adirectory to ps file ( Shell file)

#! /usr/bin/tcsh -f
foreach file ( *.pdf)
echo $file
pdf2ps $file
end

Print pdf from command line ( Shell file )

#!/bin/csh
if( $# == 2 ) then
set printer=$2
else
set printer=$PRINTER
endif

if( $1 != "" ) then
cat ${1} | acroread -toPostScript | lpr -P $printer
echo ${1} sent to $printer ... OK!
else
echo PDF Print: No filename defined!
endif

Viewing or editing your recent file with clever aliases

You can get away without typing the full name for last file ( ps, pdf, tex) on the command line. Use the following aliases. I use them all the time: especially when I name your file
"04_11_mybestresearch_revision3.tex"


alias emacs. 'emacs `ls -t *.tex | head -1` &'
alias pdf. 'open `ls -t *.pdf | head -1` &'
alias gv. 'gv `ls -t *.ps | head -1` &'
