[9fans] Sam commands in acme

Hi, I am trying to select all c comments from within a file using acme, but I am unable to do it properly. The command x/\/\*.*\*\// is the closest I could get, but it doesn't work with comments that span over more than one line. This raises a question for me: somewhere, I cannot recall where, I

[9fans] Another acme question

Hello, I have another problem with acme. Lets say I want to check the spelling in all the comments in a c file, so I execute: Edit ,x/\/\*.*\*\// spell (nevermind this doesn't work for more than one line comments) and nothing happens. This doesn't mean that my spelling is good, since I saw some

Re: [9fans] Sam commands in acme

Yes, you are right. Now I understand it, I missed the / after \*, so I was thinking that the comma was inside the regexp. Thanks a lot :-) 2009/6/26 Rudolf Sykora rudolf.syk...@gmail.com: 2009/6/26 hugo rivera uai...@gmail.com: I tested the command you suggested (,x/\/\*/.,/\*\//) and it works

[9fans] crontab equivalent

Hi, sorry for the lazy question, but sometimes it's easier to post to 9fans than to think or to seek for info. Is there any crontab equivalent in plan 9? I mean, is there a way to execute something regularly at a given time period? Saludos -- Hugo

[9fans] plan 9 regexp

Hello, I am experimenting with some regexp implementations (namely the one from the practice of programming) and I am a little disoriented by the use of the '?' operator in plan 9's grep: say I have the following input bbb ab b bb b aaabb which I feed into grep with grep 'a+bb?'

Re: [9fans] plan 9 regexp

OK, thanks for the answers. This shows my lack of imagination. Saludos -- Hugo

Re: [9fans] plan 9 regexp

you are right, but the original post read grep 'a+bb?' so you get at least one 'a' and one or two 'b'. 2009/6/3 Wu JIANG albert.w.ji...@gmail.com: actually, a+ means at least one 'a', b? means zero or one 'b'. On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 10:56 AM, hugo rivera uai...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, I

[9fans] plan 9 floating point representation

Hi, I am learning a bit about floating point representation and I am wondering about how plan 9 does this. According to IEEE 754 (I think) the convention used by C for single precision floating point numbers is to use 24 of the 32 bits available for the significand and 8 bits for the exponent. It

I am trying to use buildindex but I run into trouble: 1.- the man page and the usage displayed by the command are inconsistent. According to the man page, buildindex takes two arguments and may take two options venti/buildindex [ -B blockcachesize ] [ -Z ] venti.conf tmp but execute buildindex
