bash regular expressions

Here are some quick links on bash regular expressions, pretty good links to bookmark, if you use, regular expressions in bash regularly. I especially like the tldp link at number 3.

The Hidden PS

  <td>
    <div class="text codecolorer">
      &nbsp;for p in `ps L|cut -d' ' -f1`;do echo -e "`tput clear;read -p$p -n1 p`";ps wwo pid:6,user:8,comm:10,$p kpid -A;done
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

While going through the source code for the well known ps command, I read about some interesting things.. Namely, that there are a bunch of different fields that ps can try and enumerate for you. These are fields I was not able to find in the man pages, documentation, only in the source.

[Solved] Abbreviations not working in vim

Sat, 02 Oct 2010 15:17:39 +0000

Today I found that abbreviations are not working in vim in my current login. I searched log of blog’s and sill did not find any solution so I decided to take the matters in my hand.

To start with I disabled all the plugin’s by moving my plugin directory. This did not help me solve the issue, so the only other option left was to now disable the vimrc file completely. Once I removed the vimrc file, the abbreviations started working.
