adventures in javascript consulting
About Me

I am a JavaScript application developer and consultant,
working to help clients write client-side applications that treat
JavaScript as a rich and powerful language, not a toy. I'm the
co-host of the rollicking yayQuery podcast, the organizer of the unexpectedly epic TXJS, a contributor to the jQuery Cookbook from O'Reilly, and the author of jQuery Fundamentals. I'm also active in trying to get more women to participate in the tech community, even if it means I have to get up on stage myself. I live in Durham, North Carolina, with my partner, two dogs, and two terrible cats.

Command line goodness

Posted

Two good ones from today: cygwin/perl: change all references to portfolio.html to portfolio_d.html. 

perl -i -p -e 's/portfolio\.html/portfolio_d.html/g' *.html
More perl command line goodness here. vim: on every line that has an element with an id attribute, take the value of that attribute and use it as the argument for a php command. 
g/id="\([^"]\+\)"/ s/id="\([^"]\+\)"/value="p('\1'); ?>" id="\1"/
More on vim and regular expressions here. Also: shell commands from inside vim. I've been gradually moving completely away from Dreamweaver as my editor because I really prefer the mouse-less navigation of vim, and stuff like this helps me replicate features I miss (like search and replace across multiple files) and take them to a whole new level at the same time.
