:%s/warning/error/gn

You don't even have to touch your mouse

Joke's on you: tiling wm

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

With sed command you don't have to use mouse either.

[-] Tau@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

But you have to use your mouse to switch to a new terminal, assuming you are using vscode for everything else

Ctrl+alt+t

$ sed...

ctrl+d

You assumption is wrong. I'm a chad that only use terminal and Neovim. I don't need those filthy mouses. I have a touchpad instead that I also rarely use. I have millions of keymaps engraved in my brain, give me a keyboard and a terminal and I will move mountains.

Except that I need to do 5 minutes of googling every single time I want to use sed

The first requires no skill and does the same thing.

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The first requires using GUI (and several seconds to launch). We don't do that here.

I vividly remember posts about X/Wayland supremacy. It mustโ€™ve been a dream

if you're not being paid by the hour, try out clipea.

?? sed command to replace all 'warning' for 'error' in mid.py, in place
[-] jeffhykin@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

sd or nothing. I'm never dealing with sed's slow and out of date regex ever again

[-] DoomBot5@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Oh look, this one isn't installed on practically every Linux machine in existence

[-] jeffhykin@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

For now ๐Ÿ˜Ž

You know that sed does more than s///g, right?

Someone even wrote a version of dc (the arbitrary precision RPN desktop calculator) with it. They were clearly insane of course, but it proves that sed is more than just find and replace.

Honourable mention to awk's sub() and gsub() that, at least for basic find/replace, do the same thing. awk is often surprisingly quick.

[-] paholg@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I just learned that the Mac version of sed requires a backup file for the -i flag, making it really hard to write cross-platform scripts that use it.

[-] Presi300@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

You're a monster of you actually like regex more than just opening a full text editor. I'd open visual studio and use it to give the text I need before I touch sed

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
