Comment on How to stop the bell ringing in bash by Erik

If you’re using X, the easiest way to do this is simply to issue the command

xset b off

in a terminal emulator. It only works for the session, but it turns the bell of completely and I’m sure you could write a quick script.

Comment on Using flymake in emacs to validate html as you type by existentiality

Hmm… there was a good reason at the time.

I seem to remember that flymake doesn’t use a shell execute so you can’t use pipes (and have an angry comment in my .emacs file to this effect).

The perl script does a little more than this. It prints all lines removing the trailing new-lines from those lines which begin with error. This is because html tidy prints output like this

Error: details of error...
    more details or error..

To make flymake pay attention to both lines rather than juts the first we concatenate these lines together. I remember this being slightly difficult to do with a bash one liner.

I suspect I started off doing this in perl because I knew that perl can easily pipe input from a program whereas you have to do a few more imports in python to get this working.

P.S There appears to have been a typo in the perl program. (not very helpful). This should now be fixed.

Eugh – that’s a fine illustration of why I hate Perl. It obfuscates the simplest tasks

Why on earth do you need a script, doesn’t this do the job?:

rxp 2>&1 | grep “^Error”

Comment on Emacs version control by Ivan Andrus

I’m not sure if this is what you are wanting, but I use diff-split-hunk (C-c C-s) to take a hunk and split it into two, and then I can apply the hunk with diff-apply-hunk (C-c C-a) and it asks me if I want to revert the hunk, which I do (prefix argument also forces a reverse). This could of course be made into a function which quite easily.

On second thoughts, the likely problem is that you don’t have gnutls installed. The emacs code helpfully silently fails without any logging if this is the case. I’ve changed the post so that it includes this.

Tell me if this doesn’t work.

Hmm. I haven’t looked at this in a while.

What is inside the “trace of SMTP….” buffer?
