for translating each newline character into a blank.

Problem:
I want to type a paragraph of text, add my short signature + date + time and format everything so another person would see I added this comment to the mail.
Example:
This is my personal comment on the topic // Signature Tom, 22.08.21, 14:00 (<- add the last part by VBA-Code and put this whole paragraph in red and italic by VBA)

So far it is two separate VBA sub routines I managed to create with trial and error from the web, but I would like it in one step (because I have to call them one after a time).

QUESTION
I have built an app which receives text input from the user in a command prompt. And I would like to allow the user to select text and use that text instead of requiring the user to type it in.
In linux/bash this is achieved by calling "xsel" (a bash utility) which outputs the currently selected text which I then pipe to my python script. In windows it seems there isn't a simple solution... Any idea how do I get currently selected command line text in python/batch/powershell/external utility in Windows?
Thanks!
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-26 at 16:15Note: I'm assuming you're only interested in text selected in the current console window.
There is no perfect solution on Windows that I'm aware of[1], but you can approximate one, which, however, requires the user's cooperation, in the form right-clicking after making a selection.
The solution below works in both regular console windows (conhost.exe
) and Windows Terminal:
In regular console windows, "Quick Edit" mode should be enabled, so as to allow direct selection of text with the mouse.
To make the solution work, the user must copy the selection to the clipboard, which later allows you to retrieve the clipboard's content if no direct input was supplied. This is easily achieve by right-clicking (anywhere inside the window) after making a selection, which the prompt message must instruct the user to do.
Here's an example:

QUESTION
To read a selected text in GUI out loud I use the command xsel | espeak-ng -v mb-us3 -p3 -s135
.
To stop it I use killall -s STOP espeak-ng
.
To start it again killall -s CONT espeak-ng
.
All 3 commands work, but the noob I am won't let me archive correct results. The problem is in the if- and case-statement I think. I assigned them to a keyboard shortcut.
I want to manage this shellscript to toggle between read aloud and stopping the process of reading aloud if espeak-ng is already running. If it's not already running the bash should start it.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-24 at 18:27after struggling a bit by myself I found out that there is a difference between ps -ef
and ps ax
in the order of printing out some values...
Also I have to admit that the end of line 10 looks awful. It has to be ...print $5}'`
. Because of the difference between ps -ef
and ps ax
of course it has to be ...print $3}'`
.
By the way. The dependencies are xsel
and espeak-ng
and at least one mbrola-voice.
Now it works. Here is the full code:

QUESTION
I am new to JavaScript. I use it to write some scripts for Adobe Illustrator. In this script I take a selection of items, and sub-select them by some user definded values (xPointMin, xPointMax, etc.). The loop below is the main part of the function.
My problem is that this loop is terribly slow. It takes several sec. to run a selection of 50 items.
I already tried the following:
- run the loop without any if-condition inside. This is fast.
- run the loop with only one if-condition inside. This is as fast as with all if-conditions.
Does someone know why it is so slow or can some just make it faster.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-28 at 21:46If the loop is small, you won't see why it takes so long, but the conditionals won't make much sense, for example:
if (xArrayPoint [i] <= xPointMin || xArrayPoint [i]> = xPointMax)
This is clearly true, either one value is greater than another or it is less than or equal to another, there are only these 3 possibilities, its ifs are equivalent to if (true).
Something that may make a difference (but I'm not sure about that in javascript) is to create variables inside a loop, maybe that will be expensive in terms of processing in having to allocate space in memory to save this data.
Something that optimizes a lot in search of values in variables for example is the binary search algorithm, which is something very simple. Say for example that you want to search for a certain value within an array, the idea of the binary search is based on first placing these values in ascending order and comparing the value you are comparing with the intermediate value of that array, if its value is for example higher than the intermediate value (smaller is the same idea) it will compare with the average value that is between the highest value of the array and the average value of the array, that is, it will divide the array in two until it finds the value sought.
QUESTION
I have found a similar question here but without a working answer for me: System Clipboard Vim within TMUX within SSH session
I'm using Gnome terminal to start a ssh session with X forwarding to Debian 10. If I start neovim and copy (yank) text, then this text is copied to the Gnome clipboard and everything is fine.
This is the content of .ssh/config :
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-04 at 17:05Vim and NeoVim support for clipboard use a connection to the X11 server. The address to connect is available from the $DISPLAY
environment variable.
The issue with X11 and terminal multiplexers or session managers such as tmux or screen is that the environment of the shells and programs running inside them will be the environment of when the tmux session was first created. That includes the $DISPLAY
variable. So it means vim inside tmux will be trying to use the address of the X11 server of when the tmux session was created, not the one from where you just connected now.
A dirty but simple workaround is to update the $DISPLAY
variable when you reconnect to tmux, to ensure you'll be connecting to the correct X11 server. Note that you need to do that for every shell or program running inside tmux, since each of them will have its own out-of-sync copy of the environment variable.
Something like the following works:
QUESTION
I'm using Windows 10. I open Git Bash and then ssh into an Ubuntu server. Often I want to copy the whole contents of a large text file.
Rather than using scp to download the file to my Windows machine, I sometimes would rather quickly copy the contents to my clipboard.
Using cat
and then scrolling thousands of lines and then manually copying to clipboard is possible but isn't practical.
I'd rather pipe cat
to a command that copies the output to my Windows clipboard. Or call some other command like xclip
.
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/211817/copy-the-contents-of-a-file-into-the-clipboard-without-displaying-its-contents and How can I copy the output of a command directly into my clipboard? are similar questions, but xclip
causes this error:
ANSWER
Answered 2020-Feb-07 at 18:22You need and X server on your Windows host and X-tunnelling in your ssh connection. xclip
will send the clipboard to your X server, and the server will provide it to Windows.
- Install an X server to your Windows machine. I use VcXsrv, there are XMing and others. The flavor of X is not important.
- Launch the server
- in Git Bash use command
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
- Make sure that
/etc/ssh/sshd.config
on the remote node has lineX11Forwarding yes
- enable X11 tunneling in ssh command: add
-Y
flag tossh
:ssh -Y
While there are some recipies on Stack Overflow already, there is one glitch. Note DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
. If you omit localhost
, that is export DISPLAY=:0.0
, then xclip
will fail on the remote node :
connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
