I'm using the command line sqlite3 binary.
Is it possible to open and edit things like views or table defintions etc in your $EDITOR, vim for example?
Postgresql's psql gives you this functionality. Is there some kind of way to achieve the same close integration with sqlite3's binary?
I'm aware I can manually cut and paste.

Can I use zsh vi normal mode to move around previous commands output or the printed text in the shell to copy/yank it ?
For example in the screenshot below. I want to move to the output of ls to copy something. When I press j/k zsh cycle my command history but doesn't move up to the printed text. j/k move one line down/up only when I have multiple line command that I'm currently writing but haven't executed yet.
To the best of my knowledge, the ability to access the output of commands interactively is the domain of your terminal (-emulator), not the shell. You would use commands like sed, awk, grep, possibly in a pipe, to access, manipulate and use output you know in advance is the part you are interested in.
To access the output with keyboard shortcuts/command-keys, I suggest using the like of tmux - it allows to copy/yank from the whole terminal display as if it was a text-file in an editor.
When I open the sqlite3 command line in Windows Command Prompt, I each time type
.mode column
.width 8
.header on
Sometimes I choose a different width, but this is easy to change as needed.
Is there some way I can have these either as defaults, or execute each time the prompt starts?
The default rc file for SQLite is ~/.sqliterc; see the man page. You just paste that lines there.
Put these commands into a file, and give the file name to sqlite3's -init option.
(The options are not in the documentation; see sqlite3 --help for a list.)
Im going to build a Silex/Symfony2 project and I have been looking around for a method to generate XLIFF/PO/YAML translation files based on texts-to-be-translated inside the project but not found any instruction or documentation on it.
My question is: Is there an automated way to generate translation file(s) in specific format for a Symfony2/Silex project?
If yes, please tell me how to generate the file then update the translation after that.
If no, please tell me how to create translation file(s) then adding up more text for my project? I am looking for an editor desktop based or web-based instead of using normal editor such as Transifex, GetLocalization (but they dont have option to create a new file or add more text)
After a long time searching the internet, I found a good one:
https://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSTranslationBundle
I see you've found a converter, but to answer your first question about generating your initial translation file -
If you have Gettext installed on your system you could generate a PO file from your "texts-to-be-translated inside the project". The command line program xgettext will scan the source files looking for whatever function you're using.
Example:
To scan PHP files for instances of the trans method call as shown here you could use the following command -
find . -name "*.php" | xargs xgettext --language=PHP --keyword=trans --output=messages.pot
To your question about editors:
You could use any PO editor, such as POEdit, to manage your translations, but as you say you eventually need to convert the PO file to either an XLIFF or YAML language pack for Symfony.
I see you've already found a converter tool. You may also like to try the one I wrote for Loco. It supports PO to YAML, and PO to XLIFF
Workaround for busy people (UNIX)
You can run the following command in the Terminal:
$ grep -rEo --no-filename "'.+'\|\btrans\b" templates/ > output.txt
This will output the list of messages to translate:
'Please provide your email'|trans
'Phone'|trans
'Please provide your phone number'|trans
...
I mean almost.. But you can usually do some work from here...
Obviously you must tweak the command to your liking (transchoice, double-quotes instead of single...).
Not ideal but can help!
grep options
grep -R, -r, --recursive: Read all files under each directory, recursively this is equivalent to the -d recurse option.
grep -E, --extended-regexp: Interpret PATTERN as an extended regular expression.
grep -o, --only-matching: Show only the part of a matching line that matches PATTERN.
grep -h, --no-filename: Suppress the prefixing of filenames on output when multiple files are searched.

For my developer work I reside in the *nix shell environment pretty much all day, but still can't seem to memorize the name and argument specifics of programs I don't use daily. I wonder how other 'casual amnesiacs' handle this. Do you maintain an big cheat sheet? Do you rehearse the emacs shortcuts when you take your weekly shower? Or is your desk covered under sticky notes?
Using bash_completion is one way of not having to remember the precise syntax of program arguments.

blame copy info move propdel rename update
cat cp list mv propedit resolved
If I don't use a command regularly enough to remember what I want, I tend to just use --help or the man pages when I need to.
Or, if I'm lucky, I use CTRL+R and let bash's history search find when I last used it.
Eventually you just remember them, well the set that you use anyway. I used to maintain a README in my home directory when I was starting out but that disappeared many years ago.
One useful command is man -k which you pass a word to and it will return a list of all commands whose man page summary contains that word.
'apropos' is also a very useful command. It will list all commands whose man pages contain the keyword.
I'm trying to use the Unix command paste, which is like a column-appending form of cat, and came across a puzzle I've never known how to solve in Unix.
How can you use the outputs of two different programs as the input for another program (without using temporary files)?
Ideally, I'd do this (without using temporary files):
./progA > tmpA;
./progB > tmpB; paste tmpA tmpB
This seems to come up relatively frequently for me, but I can't figure out how to use the output from two different programs (progA and progB) as input to another without using temporary files (tmpA and tmpB).
For commands like paste, simply using paste $(./progA) $(./progB) (in bash notation) won't do the trick, because it can read from files or stdin.
The reason I'm wary of the temporary files is that I don't want to have jobs running in parallel to cause problems by using the same file; ensuring a unique file name is sometimes difficult.
I'm currently using bash, but would be curious to see solutions for any Unix shell.
And most importantly, am I even approaching the problem in the correct way?
Cheers!
You do not need temp files under bash, try this:
paste <(./progA) <(./progB)
See "Process Substitution" in the Bash manual.
Use named pipes (FIFOs) like this:
mkfifo fA
mkfifo fB
progA > fA &
progB > fB &
paste fA fB
rm fA fB
The process substitution for Bash does a similar thing transparently, so use this only if you have a different shell.
Holy moly, I recent found out that in some instances, you can get your process substitution to work if you set the following inside of a bash script (should you need to):
set +o posix
http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/shell-process-redirection
From link:
"Process substitution is not a POSIX compliant feature and so it may have to be enabled via: set +o posix"
I was stuck for many hours, until I had done this. Here's hoping that this additional tidbit will help.
Works in all shells.
