A: E for acme to be used with $EDITOR

[9gay]

bug: it opens files that have spaces in their names, but for some reason prints an error

[dancrossnyc]

Sounds an awful lot like B?

[9gay]

the difference between B and E is that E waits for file to be modified (not to mention E calls B) and is meant to be used as EDITOR=E, but A is about waiting for window(s) in acme to be closed even if the file(s) is/are not modified and is also meant to be used as EDITOR=A, B is inadequate for EDITOR=B unless you intend to not modify any file when other programs call $EDITOR

[9gay]

also B and E are for sam, but I use acme so I've written A

[dancrossnyc]

B and E will both work just fine with acme, FWIW.

I'm not sure about this, though; it really feels like a personal tool.

@dancrossnyc I don't use sam, so if I run E in acme:

% E game.dot
plumb: can't open plumb file: dial unix!/tmp/ns.gay.:0/plumb: connect /tmp/ns.gay.:0/plumb: No such file or directory
editing game.dot
^?26274: signal: interrupt
%

B and E will both work just fine with acme, FWIW.

with sam running? yes without sam running? no

I'm not sure about this, though; it really feels like a personal tool.

just like B and E are personal to sam, A is personal to acme, in order to run B and E I have to run sam, in order to run A I have to run acme here's the source code of B (why do I copy-paste code that's already in repo?):

#!/bin/sh

files=""
dest=""

line=""
if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then
    case "$1" in
    +[0-9]*)
        line="`echo $1 | sed 's/+/:/'`"
        shift
        ;;
    esac
fi

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    echo 'usage: B [+line] file...' 2>&1
    exit 1
fi

if [ "x$DISPLAY" = "x" ]
then
    sam="/tmp/.sam.$USER"
else
    if [ "$DISPLAY" = ":0" ]
    then
        DISPLAY=:0.0
    fi
    sam="/tmp/.sam.$USER.$DISPLAY"
fi

if [ ! -p $sam ]
then
    pwd="`pwd`"
    for i
    do
        i="$i$line"
        i=`cleanname -d "$pwd" "$i"`
        plumb -s B -d edit "$i"
    done
else
    for i
    do
        i="$i$line"
        pwd=`pwd`
        file=`cleanname -d $pwd $i`
        line=`echo $file | sed 's/.*://'`
        file=`echo $file | sed 's/:.*//'`
        echo "B $file" >>$sam
        if [ "x$line" != "x" -a "x$line" != "x$file" ]
        then
            echo "$line" >> $sam
        fi
    done
fi

and here's the source code of E:

#!/bin/sh

# run B but then wait for the file to change.
# great to set as $EDITOR.
# the notion of a file changing is a little weak.

stat=`ls -l $1`
B "$@"
echo editing "$@"
while sleep 1
do
    nstat=`ls -l $1`
    if [ "x$stat" != "x$nstat" ]
    then
        exit
    fi
done

That doesn't sound right. I cannot reproduce it locally, either on plan9ports or plan9. Both work just fine, loading a file into acme, without sam running.

I think you mean, "specific to" not "personal to" here, but this seems mistaken. Sorry.

if [ ! -p $sam ] then pwd="pwd" for i do i="$i$line" i=cleanname -d "$pwd" "$i" plumb -s B -d edit "$i" done else for i do i="$i$line" pwd=pwd file=cleanname -d $pwd $i line=echo $file | sed 's/.*://' file=echo $file | sed 's/:.*//' echo "B $file" >>$sam if [ "x$line" != "x" -a "x$line" != "x$file" ] then echo "$line" >> $sam fi done fi

now the puzzling piece of code is if [ ! -p $sam ] which runs plumb -s B -d edit "$i" no matter is sam running or not, this is the first time I run plumber, but the interesting thing is that B doesn't work without plumber anymore even if sam is running, but alright, my script is not so useful anymore unless there are people like me who want E program to stop only when all acme windows it created are closed

[9gay]

B not working without plumber but with sam running appears to be bug in alpine linux, both busybox shell and bash always return false on if [ ! -p $sam ]
