Walking through directories

Syntax

g {index}

Example

=================================================================
[0] directory_1
[1] directory_2
[2] directory_3
[3] directory_4
=================================================================
...
YOUR CURRENT LOCATION: "your_current_path"
...
=================================================================
pydirman> 

To go into 'directory_1' : enter g 0

=================================================================
[0] file_1
[1] file_2
=================================================================
...
YOUR CURRENT LOCATION: "your_current_path/directory_1"
...
=================================================================
pydirman> 

To return to previous directory: enter p

=================================================================
[0] directory_1
[1] directory_2
[2] directory_3
[3] directory_4
=================================================================

CREATION

Files

...
=================================================================
[0] file_1------------------------------------------size_1
=================================================================
...
pydirman>

To create a file : Enter n

pydirman> n
Enter file name [create]: 

Enter your newly created file name.

Enter file name [create]: file_2 

Entering extensions will use custom templates for newly created files like C, C++, Java etc.

...
=================================================================
[0] file_1------------------------------------------size_1
[1] file_2------------------------------------------size_2
=================================================================
...
pydirman>

Directories

To create a new directory : Enter m {directory_name}

Enter a directory name with no spaces

Correct	Incorrect
hello_world	hello world

...
=================================================================
[0] file_1------------------------------------------size_1
[1] file_2------------------------------------------size_2
[2] directory_name/
=================================================================
...
pydirman>

DELETION

Files

To delete a file : Enter d

pydirman> d
=================================================================
[0] file_1
[1] file_2
=================================================================
Enter file index [delete]: 

Enter your file index which you want to delete.

Directories

To delete a directory : Enter r

pydirman> r
=================================================================
[2] directory_name
=================================================================
Enter directory name: 

Enter your directory name which you want to delete.

For security purposes, system directories like lib, bin etc. cannot be deleted . Also directories with items inside them cannot be deleted .

Reading Contents

Syntax

g {index}

Example

=================================================================
[0] file_1-----------------------------------------size_1
[1] file_2-----------------------------------------size_2
=================================================================
...
YOUR CURRENT LOCATION: "your_current_path/"
...
=================================================================
pydirman> 

To go to 'file_1' : enter g 0

=================================================================
[0] file_1-----------------------------------------size_1
[1] file_2-----------------------------------------size_2
=================================================================
...
YOUR CURRENT LOCATION: "your_current_path/"
...
=================================================================
pydirman> g 0
FILE=[file_1]
[p]rint/[c]ancel/[e]xit: 

To print :     `p`
To cancel:     `c`
To exit:       `e`

PRINT

[p]rint/[c]ancel/[e]xit: p
===============================START=============================
*CONTENTS OF YOUR FILE*
================================END==============================

CANCEL

[p]rint/[c]ancel/[e]xit: c

pydirman> 

EXIT

It exits from pydirman.

Start File Handle

P.S. Only Handles One file at a time.

Syntax

---

test {index}

Custom Profile :

Pydirman supports custom profiling for use of special profiles, i.e. compile arguments that C, C++ uses during custom build. if the file is of such a extension then you will be asked to use a default profile (No custom build) or a previous profile or a whole new profile.

a Profile is of the following type: [profile_context] profile_args

profile_args cannot be written in next line. It must complete in the same line.

A profile context is like it's name. It is used to identify and load the profile_args in the file handler.

Example

---

Get Profile? [New/Load/{press Enter to skip}] 

Usage of Profiles

Enter l

l will load all the profiles and ask you for which profile you want to use

-----------------------------------------------------------------
CONTEXT[profile_1]: `...`
CONTEXT[profile_2]: `...`
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Enter profile context: 

enter which profile you want to use and press Enter.

Creation of Profiles

Enter n

n will prompt you to enter a new profile context and it's args.

Enter profile context: your_new_profile_context
Enter profile: your_new_profile_args

The new profile will be created and instantly used for this handle.

---

After Starting File Handling

FILE -> file_name
Enter command [exit|test|nano|clear|hex]

Only the first letter for each command is used.

Utility Commands

• CLEAR : As it suggests, It clears and refreshes the screen.
• EXIT : It exits from the handle and goes to the main screen.
• HEX : It displays hexadecimal format of the contents of the handled file.
• NANO : It opens the nano editor and enables you the edit the file.

Testing Commands

• TEST : It will run the the file with appropriate compiler or interpreter. If any arguments is to be passed, It should be passed as it is after this command.
• GC : It will get the current profile and display it.
• CC : It will open the context file and it enables you to edit or add profiles.

Adding profiles should be done with proper syntax given in the profiling wiki.

SPECIAL COMMANDS

[that will make your life easier...] ;)

ED

This stands for "edit-source". It opens your current source code in a buffer of NANO.
The path is at /etc/pydirman.py

EDN

This stands for "edit-source-nano". It opens your current nano configuration in a buffer of NANO.
The path is at /etc/nanorc

U

This stands for "usb-open". It opens the path to folder where all your external devices, e.g. USB drives are located.
The path is at /media/your_name

T

This stands for "terminal-execute". It executes the command which you pass after this command.
>t ...args => $...args

OTHER COMMANDS:

Let's see the below example:

[9] file_9.ext_9---------------99 bytes
=======================================
...
=======================================

&9 will return "file_9.ext_9"
$file_9.ext_9 will return "9"

USING PYTHON COMMANDS:

You can now manipulate the output of a string using the EOC '^'

Lets say:

-> your file file_69.ext_69 is at index 69

you can extract only the file by using &69^.split(".")[0] which will return file_69
