Using a makefile I want to compile all .c files in the current directory without specifying them directly and then link their associated .o files into a library.
How do I do this ?
Thanks. (1 Reply)
Hiya,
I want to list all files missing a certain pattern and/or filename pattern on the entire drive.
In DOS I would type (for instance):
dir \t*.doc /s /a
which should find all doc files whose filename starts with `t'.
How do I do that in a unix shell? Can it be done w/ ls at... (5 Replies)
I'm trying to delete lines from a large text file using VI.
Every line that I am wanting to delete start with 'S' - all others do not. (A list of users)
I've tried using * but doesn't seem to like it...any ideas...
Doesn't have to be VI - but I'm better with VI than sed/awk. (8 Replies)
when writing a shell script (bourne) and using a unix command like 'ls' is there anything special you need to do to use a wildcard (like *)? (3 Replies)

Hi All
Please excuse another straightforward question. When creating a tar archive from a directory I am attempting to use wildcards to eliminate certain filetypes (otherwise the archive gets too large). So I am looking for something along these lines.
tar -cf archive.tar * <minus all *.rst... (5 Replies)
Is there some rule about using wildcards in path? Say I want to create a file, but one of the directories in the path is called 1433d.default and on different machines it will be called <some other string>.default
touch ~/Library/Application/*.default/myfile
In theory I thought that... (5 Replies)
These 2 websites do a GREAT job of explaining different types of wildcards. I learned about the categories of characters which I never knew about at all.

Hello:
I have a very basic question. I'd like to select all files except for one file. For example, say I want to move all of the files in my current directory to a subdirectory called archive, I would use mv ./* archive/ But what if I want to move all files except for README.txt? Is there an... (19 Replies)

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1)NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
