When viewing an XML File in UTF-8 which has the following character 'ß', it actually appears as '▒'. The file was created in notepad++ and all looked fine. But when viewing it in PuTTY the change appears. I have amended my PuTTY configurations as per below, but the file still contains the strange character:
Right click Putty
Click 'Change Settings'
Navigate to Window > Translation
Select 'UTF-8' from the drop down menu.
Click 'Apply' to save the changes.
Snippet of the file:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<request xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<test>Flo▒\237er Str. 53</test>
</request>
All other characters appear fine e.g. 'ö', 'ü'.
It sounds like your shell environment is simply set incorrectly. To temporarily set it to support UTF-8, do:
export LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"
This should allow you to run view in the same session and the character to show correctly.
Making this change permanently depends on your Linux distribution and whether you have root access. For Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale#Changing_settings_permanently
If you don't have root access you can edit ~/.bashrc and paste the command above to the end of the file

My code was working well with special chars. I could use Write-Host "é" without any issue.
And then I moved some of my functions to an other PS1 file that I "dot sourced" (using Import-Module does the same), and I got encoding errors : prénom became prénom
I don't understand anything about encoding. VS Code doesn't allow me to change the encoding of a file. It has a parameter to set the default encoding but its defaulted on UTF8 and when I set Windows1252 it changes nothing. If I use Geany to update the encoding to Windows1252 it works... until I save the file again with VS Code.
Everything was working well when all my code was in the same file. Why would creating this second .ps1 file (which I created from the Windows Explorer) be a problem?
Working on Windows 10, in french, with VS Code 1.50.
Thank you in advance
How to (easily) get current file path in Sublime Text 3
I don't often use ST console (I used it only once to install package manager), but I suppose it could be good way to :
get current file path like some kind pwd command.
But it doesn't work.
Does anyone know an easy way to get current file path?
to clipboard : better not a strict objective in the answer
not necessary by ST command, maybe package?
Right click somewhere in the file (not on the title tab) --> Copy file path
If you don't want to use the mouse, you could set up a keyboard shortcut as explained here https://superuser.com/questions/636057/how-to-set-shortcut-for-copy-file-path-in-sublime-text-3
To easily copy the current file path, add the following to Key Bindings - User:
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+c"], "command": "copy_path" },
Source
Key Bindings - User can be opened via the command palette (command + p on OSX)
Easy to understand using image. On Right Click you will get this.
Transcribed code in image for convenience:
import sublime, sublime_plugin, os
class CopyFilenameCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
if len(self.view.file_name()) > 0:
filename = os.path.split(self.view.file_name())[1]
sublime.set_clipboard(filename)
sublime.status_message("Copied file name: %s" % filename)
def is_enabled(self):
return self.view.file_name()... # can't see
Mac OS X - Sublime Text 3
Right click > Copy File Path
A lot of these answers involve touching the mouse. Here's how to do get the path without any mouse clicks using SideBarEnhancements
Install SideBarEnhancements using PackageControl.
Click super + shift + P to open the command palette
In the command palette begin typing path until you see File: Copy Path
Select File: Copy Path
Now the path to file you are working in is copied into your clipboard.
There is a Sublime Package which gives your current file location inside a status bar. I just cloned them directly to my /sublime-text-3/Packages folder.
git clone git#github.com:shagabutdinov/sublime-shell-status.git ShellStatus;
git clone git#github.com:shagabutdinov/sublime-status-message.git StatusMessage;
You have to check/read the description on GitHub. Even it is listed in package control it would not install properly for me. You can actually edit the shell output as you want. If you have the right skills with python/shell.
Looks like this (Material Theme)
If you're like me and always click on items in the sidebar just to realize that copying the path only works when clicking in the editor area, have a look at the SideBarEnhancements package. It has a huge bunch of options to copy file paths in a variety of different ways.
Installation is available via Package Control (despite the webpage only mentions installation via manual download).
Note: The package “sends basic, anonymous statistics”. The webpage explains how to opt out from that.
Go to this link. The code in the link is given by robertcollier4.
Create a file named CpoyFileName.py or whatever you like with .py extension.
Save the file in Sublime Text 3\Packages\User folder. Then paste the above given key bindings in your Preferences: Key Bindings file.
Now, you can use the specified key bindings to copy just filename or total (absolute) filepath.
Please note that the filename or filepath do contain file extension.
Fastest Solution ( No Packages Needed + Comprehensive ):
Folder Path:
Folder in "Sidebar"
Right Click
"Find In Folder"
"Where" field contains everything you need
File Path:
File in current "Tab"
Right Click
"Copy File Path"
I am trying to add a Windows Context Menu item that will let me right click a file in Windows Explorer and click a button Open in Dev Server.
This will then pass the file path of the selected file to a Windows .bat file.
In my .bat file openLocalHostWebBrowser.bat so far I have this code below which wehn ran opens a new tab in my web browser with the supplied URL.
#echo off
start "webpage name" "http://someurl.com/"
So I need help. I know how to add the context menu in Windows Explorer that will run my openLocalHostWebBrowser.bat file when clicked on.
What I need help with is taking that file path that is passed and changing it by removing part of the front of it and prepending my localhost or any URL for that matter, perhaps another one for a production server.
So if the file path passed to my .bat file is like this...
E:\Server\htdocs\labs\php\testProject\test.php
then I need to somehow turn it into this...
http://localhost/labs/php/testProject/test.php
The E:\Server\htdocs\ should be replaced with http://localhost/
I believe your requirement is fixed (E:\Server\htdocs\ should be replaced with http://localhost/). If so, below may help you.
#echo off
set input=%1
Echo.Input was - %input%
set converted=%input:E:\server\htdocs\=http://localhost/%
set converted=%converted:\=/%
echo.Converted to - %converted%
Sample tested output -
D:\Scripts>repl.bat E:\Server\htdocs\labs\php\testProject\test.php
Input was - E:\Server\htdocs\labs\php\testProject\test.php
Converted to - http://localhost/labs/php/testProject/test.php

Is there a way to set a default document type when saving a NEW FILE?
I created several new files and I want to have a default value of .txt when saving a NEW FILE.
Create a new plugin Tools > Developer > New Plugin...
Paste this in:
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class EverythingIsPowerShell(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_new(self, view):
view.set_syntax_file('Packages/PowerShell/Support/PowershellSyntax.tmLanguage')
Save and call it NewTabSyntax.py. New tabs will now default to Powershell.
You can change the syntax to whatever you prefer. To find out the "path" of a particular syntax, simply open a file of that syntax, open the console (View > Show Console) and type:
view.settings().get('syntax')
This plugin does it:
https://github.com/spadgos/sublime-DefaultFileType
seems pretty great.
Edit:
Ok, two things, there currently seems to be a small bug so the text file syntax is not being correctly picked up due to the whitespace in the filename. In addition you need to set the "use_current_file_syntax" to false, (otherwise the new file will default to whatever filetype you have open already when you hit Ctrl-N)... So the fix/workaround is this:
Put the following code in: Packages/User/default_file_type.sublime-settings
{ "default_new_file_syntax": "Packages/Text/Plain_text.tmLanguage",
"use_current_file_syntax": false }
NOTE THE UNDERSCORE.
Next, find the "Plain text.tmLanguage" file and copy and rename it (in the same folder) as "Plain_text.tmLanguage". [be sure to copy/duplicate it, do not just rename it, as it may have dependancies]
Restart, just to be sure, and this should do the trick.
Also note this plugin only works for new files created with Ctrl-N.
Working after these steps:
1.Uninstalled
2.Installed using Package Control
3.Test using default install (type Jave) <-- worked
4.Copy and Renamed file Sublime Text 2\Packages\Text\Plain text.tmLanguage > Sublime Text 2\Packages\Text\Plain_text.tmLanguage
5.Changed file Sublime Text 2\Packages\Default File Type\default_file_type.sublime-settings >
`{ "default_new_file_syntax": "Packages/Text/Plain_text.tmLanguage", "use_current_file_syntax": true }`
-- All working.
I did not need to copy any files into the 'Packages/User' folder
#fraxel _ Thanks for all the help and quick response.
I tried the instructions - I am using Firefox on Lubuntu (Openbox). But I get the error
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (org-protocol) isn't associated with any program".
How should I fix this?
The following steps for setting up org-protocol work with Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) and presumably later versions. Org-mode is assumed to have already been set-up (and installed using apt-get install org-mode or via the ELPA repository).
Set-up
Add .desktop file
Create and save a file called org-protocol.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications containing:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=org-protocol
Exec=emacsclient %u
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=System;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/org-protocol;
Then run:
$ update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/
This step makes Firefox aware that "org-protocol" is a valid scheme-handler or protocol (by updating ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache), and causes Firefox to prompt for a program to use when opening these kinds of links.
Add config settings to ~/.emacs.d/init.el (or ~/.emacs) file
Have the following settings in your Emacs configuration file:
(server-start)
(require 'org-protocol)
Also add some template definitions to the configuration file, for example:
(setq org-protocol-default-template-key "l")
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "/path/to/notes.org" "Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n %a")
("l" "Link" entry (file+olp "/path/to/notes.org" "Web Links")
"* %a\n %?\n %i")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "/path/to/journal.org")
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")))
Now run Emacs.
Create your notes.org file
Assuming you use the capture templates defined in step 2, you will need to prepare a notes.org file at the location you specified in step 2. You must create this file -- if it is not created along with the headlines specified in step 2, org-mode will just give a warning when you try to capture web-pages. So, given the capture templates from step 2, notes.org should contain the following:
* Tasks
* Web Links
Add bookmarklet(s) to Firefox
Save bookmark to toolbar containing something like the following as the location:
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture?template=l&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
If you are using an older version of org-mode, you may need to use the following instead:
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture://l/'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
Notice the 'l' (lowercase L) in the above URL -- this is what chooses the capture template (automatically) -- it is the key one would normally have to press when capturing with org-mode via C-c c.
When you click on this bookmarklet, Firefox will ask what program to use to handle the "org-protocol" protocol. You can simply choose the default program that appears ("org-protocol").
Using it
(Optionally) select some text on a webpage you're viewing in Firefox. When you click on the bookmarklet, the link and selected text will be placed in the Emacs capture buffer. Go to Emacs, modify the capture buffer as desired, and press C-c C-c to save it.
Add protocol handler
Create file ~/.local/share/applications/org-protocol.desktop containing:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=org-protocol
Exec=emacsclient %u
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=System;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/org-protocol;
Note: Each line's key must be capitalized exactly as displayed, or it will be an invalid .desktop file.
Then update ~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache by running:
On GNOME:
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/
On KDE:
kbuildsycoca4
Configure Emacs
Init file
Add to your Emacs init file:
(server-start)
(require 'org-protocol)
Capture template
You'll probably want to add a capture template something like this:
("w" "Web site"
entry
(file+olp "/path/to/inbox.org" "Web")
"* %c :website:\n%U %?%:initial")
Note: Using %:initial instead of %i seems to handle multi-line content better.
This will result in a capture like this:
\* [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html][org-protocol.el – Intercept calls from emacsclient to trigger custom actions]] :website:
[2015-09-29 Tue 11:09] About org-protocol.el
org-protocol.el is based on code and ideas from org-annotation-helper.el and org-browser-url.el.
Configure Firefox
Expose protocol-handler
On some versions of Firefox, it may be necessary to add this setting. You may skip this step and come back to it if you get an error saying that Firefox doesn't know how to handle org-protocol links.
Open about:config and create a new boolean value named network.protocol-handler.expose.org-protocol and set it to true.
Note: If you do skip this step, and you do encounter the error, Firefox may replace all open tabs in the window with the error message, making it difficult or impossible to recover those tabs. It's best to use a new window with a throwaway tab to test this setup until you know it's working.
Make bookmarklet
Make a bookmarklet with the location:
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture://w/'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())
Note: The w in the URL chooses the corresponding capture template. You can leave it out if you want to be prompted for the template.
When you click on this bookmarklet for the first time, Firefox will ask what program to use to handle the org-protocol protocol. If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), you must add the /usr/bin/emacsclient program, and choose it. With Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) or later, you can simply choose the default program that appears (org-protocol).
You can select text in the page when you capture and it will be copied into the template, or you can just capture the page title and URL.
Tridactyl
If you're using Tridactyl, you can map key sequences something like this:
bind cc js location.href='org-protocol://capture://w/'+encodeURIComponent(content.location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(content.document.title)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(content.document.getSelection())
You might also want to add one for the `store-link` sub-protocol, like:
bind cl js location.href='org-protocol://store-link://'+encodeURIComponent(content.location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(content.document.title)
Capture script
You may want to use this script to capture input from a terminal, either as an argument or piped in:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $# ]]
then
data="$#"
else
data=$(cat)
fi
if [[ -z $data ]]
then
exit 1
fi
encoded=$(python -c "import sys, urllib; print urllib.quote(' '.join(sys.argv[1:]), safe='')" "${data[#]}")
# "link" and "title" are not used, but seem to be necessary to get
# $encoded to be captured
emacsclient "org-protocol://capture://link/title/$encoded"
Then you can capture input from the shell like this:
tail /var/log/syslog | org-capture
org-capture "I can capture from a terminal!"
These instructions are more up-to-date than the ones in Mark's answer.
