Alt+F2

I just wrote a class in ruby for the backend for the ALT+F2 replacement i’m working on.

here is the class in ruby


#! /usr/bin/ruby
require 'pathname'
class Doer
def initialize
path=ENV['PATH'].to_s.split(":")
@li=""
@cmdlst=[]
@command=Hash.new()
path.each do |indpath|
inpath=Pathname(indpath)
files=inpath.children(false)
files.each do |fls|
testval=FileTest::executable?(File.join(indpath,fls))
if testval
cmdpth=File.join(indpath,fls).to_s
cmd=fls.to_s
@command.store(cmd,cmdpth)
@cmdlst.push(cmd+"\n")
end
end
end
@cmdlst=@cmdlst.join
end
def updatefind(str)
pattern=Regexp.compile("#{str}.*",Regexp::IGNORECASE)
@li=@cmdlst.scan(pattern)
return @li
end
end

You can try it by passing a string to the updatefind function for getting the list of commands similar to the give string.

For eg:
x=Doer.new()
puts x.updatefind(ARGV[0])


if you are passing the string from command line..
Hope ppl find this useful!!
will update soon with the Qt front end as soon i’m done with it.

And finally when it is over the MACS group decided to conduct a fossmeet at our coll. And during this early organising stage we had a small fun of test printing stickers for the meet. And we had a wonderful result..
Here are some of the stickers i used from the sticker book we designed.
Almost all the stickers are taken from the free software sticker book.
Sarath (Slynux Guy) has designed 2 of them.. and one from a wallpaper that i found long time back..
Powered by ubuntu sticker is from system76
Here are some pics of stickers i used..
