Bill, Thank you for that hint to search the archive for ctags.
I found a handful of good ideas there including your shell script: # jtags from juggle home. I changed the last line from this }' | sort > tags to this }' | sort > TAGS as I think Raul suggested in a follow-on to your message which included the script. http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2009-February/013807.html Btw, I was really pleased to find that I could revise the mailer-induced typo in the cvs command in Martin's message at the following link. The phrase ` at ` had to be replaced by the single character @(shift-2). http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2008-January/009389.html But, alas, I still have a small glitch. After creating a tags file for my j602-user directory which only produced one error which seemed to object to only one error (see the error below), I tried to use the tags from within vim. ***********error report ******* sh j ../j602-user awk: can't open file ./photos/photoresize input record number 83, file ./photos/photoresize source line number 1 ***********error report ******* In vim I opened an ijs file and positioned my cursor in the letters `iomax` and typed control-] as I had seen in a helpful screencast on ctags at http://smartic.us/2009/04/05/using-ctags-in-vim/ but that produced the following error messages (which I hope are not related to the error above). ***********error report 2******* E431: Format error in tags file "tags" Before byte 99375 Hit ENTER or type command to continue E426: tag not found: iomax Hit ENTER or type command to continue ***********error report 2******* When I look at character 99375 in the file tags I am positioned at the first period in line 2056: 2056 init ./httpget.ijs /^init=: 3 : 0^M$/ Do you have any idea what I can do to fix this?
