Looking for a special type of editor
A sysadmin friend of mine asks the following: Anyone ever heard of an application that does the following... You know how some text editors will number the lines? Well I need an editor that will add a time stamp at the beginning of each line. I can certainly see why a normal editor might have problems with this, but do ya'll know of any application (for *nix) that does anything similar? Kinda like a .history file. I am beta testing an application, and I need an easy way of recording (and timestamping) everything I do. Any ideas? -- Thanks, Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(sorry, but I can't help more than that. vi and emacs macros are a little beyond my reach, although I knpw they are very powerful) Depending on your exact needs you might also be able to use cvs or rcs.

Any ideas? store the config/source code/etc in cvs. Lets you roll back a version, give a special name to a version, etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

But I'm not sure what you want. If you just want a history log just add the word $Log$ some where in the file where you want the log and use RCS. Cheers!
