Hi,
yeah it's "obvious":
replace the last part with:
Code:
sed -E 's/\<.+>(.[COLOR="Red"]*[/COLOR])\<\/.+>/\1/'The + mean "one or more" the * means "zero or more"
I'm trying to use this to view status updates. Can you save me the trouble of reverse-engineering everything and document what each section of this command is doing? I've never used 'sed' before, though I understand its power. Deciphering all of that is giving me a headache! (Though I'll get it eventually.)

thanks man.... are those regular expressions?
Now I gotta figure out how to make the headlines bold...
Hi,
yes sed uses regular expressions.
To learn about sed and regular expressions check a post of mine 1 or 2 pages back.
Regarding bold a can say the ANSI code for it is [1m.
Check another post of mine also a couple pages back regarding the usage of ANSI color codes.
So you should get to a result like this:
Code:
curl https://www.rz.fh-hannover.de/etech/schoof/meldungen/export/meldungen.xml | grep -E '(ueberschrift|zeile)' | sed -E 's/\<zeile/ &/1' | sed -E 's/\<ueberschrift>(.+)\<\/ueberschrift>/[COLOR="Magenta"]^[[/COLOR][1m\1[COLOR="Magenta"]^[[/COLOR][0m/' |sed -E 's/\<.+>(.+)\<\/.+>/\1/'
Hi all,
Been going thru all the excellent scripts here and deciding which ones I would like to try to get my feet under me before I start work on some of my own. One question for this n00b though .... When one makes their geeklets, do they all go under the "default group" or should one create a group of each geeklet you write or a group for each type of geeklet?
I hope I worded that correctly.
Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give me.

I setup separate groups so that I can turn some of them on and off when I change my desktop without needing to recreate them every time.
Group them however you want. I use a group for iTunes related stuff, my Date and Time, and then System Info.
Can someone look at my multiple calenders code and see why I'm repeating January 2009 instead of displaying January 2010. Just noticed this when November hit. Thanks for the help
And my Desktop running the cal.
Code:
# prev month
cal -m $(date -v-1m +%b)
#next month
cal -m $(date -v+1m +%b)
#Month after next
cal -m $(date -v+2m +%b)Can someone look at my multiple calenders code and see why I'm repeating January 2009 instead of displaying January 2010. Just noticed this when November hit. Thanks for the help

Hi,
that happens because the "date -v-2m +%b" returns the month (january). Since you don't specify the year, it assumes it's the current year,therefore you get January 2009.
Instead of
date -v+2m +%b
use
date -v+2m "+%b %Y"
It should work (didn't test it)

Great, thanks a lot!
But I just can't figure out how to type the Escapecharacter into NerdTool. I can use them in the terminal, but when I copy and paste it into Nerdtool, it becomes two characters :-(
I s there another ways excpet for STRG+v and then ESC?
Sory, for asking this, but I did not get it from your previous post :-/
Don't know about Nerdtool.
But you can always put the command in a shell script file and run that from nerdTool
it's supposed to support ANSI ESC characters.
But the only way I get one of those is in the terminal via strg+v and ESC. When i move the cursor in the terminal line, it's recognized as one character, but when i select it with the mouse it's two characters. And that's how it gets pasted into Textedit.app when I try to write a shell script. Or Nerdtool, when I try to set it as shell command.... always two characters. Is there any other way to print these?
I always end up having printed the two characters:

Hi,
copying&pasting won't work. You need to input those directly in nerdtool or in the shell script file.
You know how to create/edit a file in terminal right?
Then do that, put the command in it, make it executable (chmod u+x filename) and point nerdtool to this file.
okay, no I tried using:
I replaced the "two characters" with the escape character, then hit enter to write the file....
doesnt work. Nerdtool prints [1m and [0m
:-(
Code:
echo "curl https://www.rz.fh-hannover.de/etech/schoof/meldungen/export/meldungen.xml | grep -E '(ueberschrift|zeile)' | sed -E 's/\<zeile/ &/1' | sed -E 's/\<ueberschrift>(.+)\<\/ueberschrift>/^[[1m\1^[[0m/' |sed -E 's/\<.+>(.*)\<\/.+>/\1/'" > news3.shI replaced the "two characters" with the escape character, then hit enter to write the file....
doesnt work. Nerdtool prints [1m and [0m
:-(
2 things:
- are you sure Nerdtool supports these color codes?
- if, in Terminal, you type: cat news3.sh do you see the ^[[Xm or you see the '\1' in bold?
edit: take the attached zip (uncompress it), place it in a known directory, go to terminal, make this script executable (chmod u+x sysinfo.sh) and set nerdtool to use it.
This one I'm sure it works! (if it doesn't then it's nerdtool problem... - you can also test it in Terminal to see that it actually works)
it definately says so in this description: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/31909
But I also tested it in geektool 2.1.2
No bold...
as for "cat news3.sh".... I see '/1' in bold.....
I'm freakin' out =)

Only Geektool 3 supports color codes. 2.x does not!
Maybe nerdtool doesn't support them...
And there I cannot help
okay, I am trying geektool 3 RC5 right now....
But is there a trick? when i try to run a shell command like curl, I dont get any output. Little snitch says geektool transfers data, but I don't see anything in the grey frame.
A command like "echo test" works fine....
maybe because it's a release candidate?

Hi,
there's no trick. It's still an RC but there's no trick.
Check the colors in Geektool, maybe it's outputting black text on a black background...but if echo works then curl works too.
My suggestion is to do everything in terminal and put all the commands in shell scripts. Then call the script from GT.
Good luck
