I am using Ansys Fluent Solution 2021 R1, and I would like to change directory in the console to a folder that has a white space in its name, such as "a folder". For that purpose I am using the chdir command and making different attempts, namely
chdir a folder
chdir "a folder"
chdir a\ folder
chdir a/ folder
chdir "a/ folder"
chdir "a\ folder"
but none of them is working. Do you know how such command should be written?

The File below:
; Install common files
SetOutPath "${GameDir}\Mopy"
File /r /x "*.bat" /x "*.py*" /x "w9xpopen.exe" /x "Wrye Bash.exe" "Mopy\*.*"
filters out some directories that contain python files but still those directories are created (although empty, or containing empty subdirectories) when I run the installer. Those folders need to be included to the installer (if I get the terminology correct at "compile time") cause the installer has an option to install the python version of the program. I can't come up with a way to not add these empty folders. Is there some wildcard I could use to that purpose or should I go and remove the files on installation (using RMDir ?) ?
I'd say you have two options and one is indeed RMDir if you are OK with it possibly removing empty folders that the user created.
The other option is to not use File /r ... and instead use !system to execute something like a batch file that generates a text file with individual File instructions that you can !include. It would look something like this:
!tempfile files
!system '"mygeneratefilelist.bat" "${files}"'
!include "${files}"
!delfile "${files}"
and the batch file would use FOR and/or DIR to list and ECHO the File commands to %1...
I'm attempting to open a directory in Unix. If I enter the command
ls
I see the directory listed in my current directory but if I endter
cd [directory_name]
I get the error
No such file or directory
I'm also not able to auto complete the directory name using the 'tab' key. Does anyone know what may be causing this?
Check whether you are using the right capitalization? It's case sensitive. Add this to your ~/.inputrc if you want bash to not care about the case of the file.
set completion-ignore-case on
This is example:
user#stackoverflow:~$ ls
users questions file.txt
user#stackoverflow:~$ cd /questions
user#stackoverflow:~/questions$
Make sure that you're trying to access a valid folder and not a file.
To further explain:
List the current directory's contents (either one):
ls .
ls
List the home directory's contents (wherever you are):
ls ~
List the root directory's contents (wherever you are):
ls /
I have a personal scripts folder: ~/google_drive/code/scripts. This folder is on my $path. $path is set in ~/.zshenv and not changed anywhere else (I've disabled OS X path_helper and I don't touch $path in any other zsh startup file). In this scripts folder, there is a subdirectory called alfred_workflows. From the command line, from any location I am able to run scripts in this folder with relative paths. This is expected:
$ alfred_workflows/test.sh
#=> test successful
But in a script, this does not work. It generates an error:
$ zsh -c "alfred_workflows/test.sh"
#=> zsh:1: no such file or directory: alfred_workflows/test.sh
Once again, the scripts directory that contains alfred_workflows is on $path, which is set in ~/.zshenv, and I am able to run executables that reside in the top level of this directory from a script. The issue only seems to be when I try to go through a subdirectory. What might be the problem?
Searching of the $path is only done for names containing a slash if the
path_dirs option is set. Apparently that's set in your interactive shell,
but isn't set in the process that's executing the script.
Prolog: I'm an idiot for missing this in the documentation
cmake-2.8.10.2
How do you make cmake preserve the original file permissions when installing a directory? For the project at hand, I'd like it to essentially copy some directories from my source tree to the install tree. To wit:
install(
DIRECTORY config runp
DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}
PATTERN ".svn" EXCLUDE
PATTERN ".git" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "start_collection.snl" EXCLUDE
)
All works as expected -- except that executable scripts are getting copied in with incorrect file permissions. In fact, none of the original file permissions are preserved. Globally setting permissions using FILE_PERMISSIONS and DIRECTORY_PERMISSIONS is something I do not want to do, and frankly, would be a hack in this context.
In the shell-scripting world, I'd do something simple like this:
for i in config runp ; do
tar cf - $i | tar -C $CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX -xf -
done
Documentation suggests using USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS when calling install():
install(
DIRECTORY config runp
DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}
USE_SOURCE_PERMISSIONS
PATTERN ".svn" EXCLUDE
PATTERN ".git" EXCLUDE
PATTERN "start_collection.snl" EXCLUDE
)
Alternatively, you can use install(PROGRAMS signature of this command. See docs for more info.
I have a directory structure that needs to be added to the installer. I have 3 different versions of my install script, and one of them being an upgrade script, requires excluding a certain file and a subdirectory within my install directory.
So I do the following:
File /r /x ${InputDir}\data\someFile.xml /x ${InputDir}\data\derbydb\runtime\*.* ${InputDir}\*.*
The xml file and the derbydb directory are already present (since this is an upgrade) and hence I don't want to overwrite them. Yet on running the installer I clearly see that both files are overwritten, and moreover viewing the generated setup.exe with 7zip shows that they got added as well. One may as well have just called
File /r ${InputDir}\*.*
So what's going wrong here? I wish NSIS would have better documentation or list caveats with
their command parameters/syntax. (/rant)
NSIS manual (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Docs/Chapter4.html) section 4.9.1.5 File contains the following:
Use the /x switch to exclude files or directories.
I tried to use different variants, but only one worked:
SetOutPath $INSTDIR
File /r /x Config ..\MyProgram\*.*
where "Config" is a directory "MyProgram\Plugins\Config".
NSIS searches only by name and it will be wrong to set any subfolders (e.g. "/x Plugins\Config" or "/x $INSTDIR\MyProgram\Plugins\Config\"). There is one lack: if you have the same folders in different directories, using the /r switch, both matching directories and files will be searched.
I find that
File /x "${DIRECTORY}Foo.img" "${DIRECTORY}*.img"
does NOT exclude Foo.img at compilation time - it is included with the other .img files.
Finally cracked it after pulling some of my hair out...
First exclude the whole sub directory from the *.*
File /r /x "subfolder" "C:\App\bin\*.*"
then change your output directory in to your subfolder...
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\subfolder"
then exclude the xml files...
File /r /x "*.xml" "C:\App\bin\subfolder\*.*"
and then set the output path back to how it was...
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
so it should look somthing like this...
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
File /r /x "subfolder" "C:\App\bin\*.*"
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\subfolder"
File /r /x "*.xml" "C:\App\bin\subfolder\*.*"
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
I think the problem is that you shouldn't be specifying the full path to the files to exclude just a pattern, so in other words the command should look like this:
File /r /x data\someFile.xml /x data\derbydb\runtime\*.* ${InputDir}\*.*
The /x is for excluding some files to be included in the installer at compile time.
If I understand correctly, you want to avoid the overwriting of files during the installation / upgrade at run time.
Thus you could use the SetOverwrite compiler flag before the File directive. Look at the manual section 4.8.2.8 SetOverwrite, the section 4.8.2 also shows a method to handle SetOverwrite dynamically.
var pname
!define pname "Salt v1.2.9.3c"
File /r /x small-games.info.url "E:\Games\${pname}\*.*"
include E:\Games\${pname}*.*, but exclude small-games.info.url in folders
It seems to me there's a bug which is that if you do:
File /r "C:\folder a\subfolder b"
File /r /x "subfolder b" "C:\folder b"
then C:\folder b\subfolder a\subfolder b will still get copied as part of the first operation.
working example for files = File /r /x *.jpg D:\Desktop\NSIS\Examples\wp_test_build*.
working example for folders = File /r /x Config D:\Desktop\NSIS\Examples\wp_test_build*.*
