[all variants] How do I use ^str^str syntax to replace all matches?

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Suppose I run the following command. Code: sgy@za-box:~$ cp -v .profile /data/ibook/sgy/misc/.profile-za-box Now, I would like to perform the same operation but with file .inputrc. The following gets me close: Code: sgy@za-box:~$ ^.profile^.inputrc cp -v .inputrc /data/ibook/sgy/misc/.profile-za-box `.inputrc' -> `/data/ibook/sgy/misc/.profile-za-box' But I would like to make the string substitution at all matches, not just the first. How do I do that? Where would I look for the answer? Thanks. (Hardware)

Which application can I use to figure out what to put in .inputrc for any custom keyboard shortcut? I've tried a few, and none of them seem to be usable:

showkey, showkey -a and read just print ' if you press Ctrl-'.

xev prints them separately, and doesn't print anything that seems usable for .inputrc.

mapping Character keys 23 weeks 11 hours ago

I really dont understand bash`s use of control characters.

I'm trying to set up my .inputrc to perform a backwards unix-word-rubout but I'm currently failing at doing so. I have M-w mapped in my .inputrc.

this does not work:

"\eu": universal-argument "\ew": "\eu-1\C-w"

nor does this:

"\ew": "\e-1\C-w"

not even doing it interactively in the shell by pressing M-- followed by C-w works, i.e.

Using sed in a for loop 19 weeks 4 days ago

Hello I have a group of files

Just now noticed latest readline _finally_ including an option to list tab-completions downwards(like zsh also can), instead of from left-to-right, by adding in inputrc;set completion-display-width 0This imho is much easier to decipher, like e.g.:$ ls /foo/bar-1[tab] bar-1.2.12 bar-1.3.13 bar-1.4.14Instead of:$ ls /foo/bar-1[tab] bar-1.2.12 bar-1.3.13 bar-1.4.14This was the only thing I previously

Disable the system beep (bell) 3 years 4 weeks ago

To disable the system bell or beep on Linux, at least the tab completion, and the back space bell. Edit the file /etc/inputrc (as root) and add this line. set bell-style none Do that if you want to be a system wide setup. If you want it only for some user session or for your own session. Edit the file ~/.inputrc and there add the line.

I have an issue with one of my servers running Ubuntu. MySQL is not working because the disk is "full".

I checked the root directory and there's 218GB of data in there but the du command won't tell me where it's all located.

hey guys,

I'm trying to set up a profile so that when the screen goes off data goes off and when screen goes on data goes on. That's the easy part which i managed to do by myself. Now I'd like to add this to the profile: when the screen is off, I want the data to go on every 20 minutes for 30 seconds. Is that even possible? lol (I wanna make sure I get my emails and all the syncing).
