Hi,
I need sometimes to create multiple folders from a list of names in a file
for example in a file : list_names.txt
January February ... December
I would like from textmate use a command like : select the names and get the folders.
With bash and without spaces in the names, it's possible to get a result with the file list_names.txt (I'm a newbie with bash ! )
#! /bin/bash
for item in `cat list_names.txt` do mkdir $item done
But this is not very fine because I can't give the path for output folders
1) Is it possible with textmate to create a command and to give the path with an interactive action
2) Do you know a Ruby script to make this ? (it's to learn about Ruby)
3) Perhaps "Interactive Input" is an answer to give the path for the ouput place but I run textmate with Snow Leopard and tm_interactive_input.dylib gives me some problem with laTeX.
4) Perhaps with regex, it is possible to determine names with spaces inside if RC is the separator ?
Then, in these folders,I need to create a lot of files like In tkz_graph folder
tkz_graph_example_1.tex tkz_graph_example_2.tex ... tkz_graph_example_20.tex
idem with tkz_2d etc ...
To create these files, I use the same LaTeX template and the question is the like the first one. How to create a command with the number of files and and the possibility to choice a directory?
An idea was to select "20" and "/Users/ego/work" and to launch the command but I'm not an expert with bash or Ruby to make this ...
Best regards

Yes, but would involve more work than I am prepared to type in Mail’s inline text editor ;)
Basically though you want to use ‘xargs’ instead of the bash loop. This reads arguments from stdin and gives them to a command of your choice.

If you are having Snow Leopard problems with the latest tm_interactive.dylib found in the svn repository, then we would like to know about them, as we consider this “fixed” and it will likely go out with next build.

The issue with spaces should be addressed by using proper quoting in the bash commands (or ruby script, if you end up using that). Worst- case one can set the IFS variable to a newline, so that `cat filenames.txt` will be word-expanded on newlines (instead of whitespace).
Though I am not sure what approach to recommend, as I do not have the full picture. E.g. these list of folders to create, where do these come from? Cause if these are generated, maybe the generator could just make the folders instead of creating lists…

I try the latest tm_interactive today and it's fine but the bug LateXCommandCompletions.rb is always here (fileExt="tex" is necessary )

I need two things.
First I create a file with the name of students and I need to create a folder for each of them. I can save my list and use bash to create the folders but I would like to select the names and to use a command or a macro. It is not a big problem (except for ruby ) and except the problem of the path for the folders.
The second thing is to create multiple files from one file ( sort of template ) .tex files with the same prefix in the same folder. I need a macro and I need to give two arguments : the prefix and the path of the folder.
