{code}/home/lincoln/projects/forge/*.java/get* [2432 selected] ${code}

(04:17:31 PM) lincolnthree1: i was thinking it would be nice if the cd or "select" or "pick up" command accepted wildcards/filters of some sort
(04:17:44 PM) lincolnthree1: obviously *.java works, but only in the current directory/resource
(04:17:46 PM) lincolnthree1: so
(04:17:54 PM) lincolnthree1: 'cd *.java' would select all the 
(04:18:00 PM) lincolnthree1: java files in the current dir
(04:18:07 PM) lincolnthree1: but it would be really nice if you could do something like:
(04:18:20 PM) lincolnthree1: select **/*.java 
(04:18:27 PM) lincolnthree1: or select *.java -r
(04:18:32 PM) lincolnthree1: select -r *.java
(04:18:40 PM) lincolnthree1: and recursively select resources
(04:18:50 PM) lincolnthree1: from . onward
(04:20:39 PM) stalep: sure that should work. but what do you mean by "select". selected for what?
(04:21:11 PM) lincolnthree1: UIContext.getInitialSelection() 
(04:21:18 PM) lincolnthree1: multi-cd
(04:22:00 PM) stalep: im my head cd is change directory, so sorry for being a bit slow with the context switching :)
(04:22:21 PM) lincolnthree1: think of this as an advanced for of CD
(04:22:28 PM) lincolnthree1: imagine this:
(04:22:31 PM) lincolnthree1: cd *.java
(04:22:34 PM) gegastaldi: pick-up might be more like it
(04:22:38 PM) lincolnthree1: [12 java files in context]
(04:22:43 PM) mmatloka: gegastaldi: are you ready?:P
(04:22:50 PM) lincolnthree1: ls .
(04:22:54 PM) gercan [~gorkem at 217.131.48.21] entered the room.
(04:23:03 PM) lincolnthree1: now prints out all the fields/methods of the 12 java files
(04:23:11 PM) gegastaldi: mmatloka: for what ? Pull requests ? :)
(04:23:13 PM) lincolnthree1: rm . would delete all 12 java files
(04:23:18 PM) stalep: ok
(04:23:26 PM) mmatloka: gegastaldi: for learning :D
(04:23:27 PM) jamezp_afk is now known as jamezp
(04:23:32 PM) lincolnthree1: so it's like "cd++"
(04:23:41 PM) lincolnthree1: taking 'cd' to the next level
(04:24:23 PM) stalep: so its not a cd, but more of a select as you mentioned earlier
(04:24:39 PM) gegastaldi: cr
(04:24:41 PM) lincolnthree1: basically
(04:24:44 PM) gegastaldi: Select resource
(04:24:45 PM) stalep: co cd *.java will select all methods on all java files?
(04:24:51 PM) lincolnthree1: well
(04:24:58 PM) lincolnthree1: cd *.java would select all java files in the current dir
(04:25:02 PM) lincolnthree1: once you've done that
(04:25:07 PM) lincolnthree1: you could then cd get*
(04:25:15 PM) lincolnthree1: which would select all getters in all java files in the current directory
(04:25:48 PM) lincolnthree1: so 'cd *.java/get*' would be the equivalent single command
(04:25:57 PM) stalep: ok
(04:26:07 PM) Cojan [~cvanball at 2001:980:92c0:1:2677:3ff:fe7d:2620] entered the room.
(04:26:20 PM) gegastaldi: Oh, cd as in Change Destination, not Change Directory :)
(04:26:35 PM) lincolnthree1: then issuing an 'rm' would delete all those selected getters and drop you back to a selection of just the *.java files
(04:27:04 PM) lincolnthree1: similarly, I guess you could do:
(04:27:08 PM) lincolnthree1: rm *.java/get*
(04:27:27 PM) lincolnthree1: and just imagine if autocomplete worked here
(04:27:34 PM) lincolnthree1: serious shell power
(04:28:26 PM) gegastaldi: There should be a way to display the selected resources in the command prompt also
(04:28:37 PM) lincolnthree1: right
(04:28:43 PM) lincolnthree1: so the prompt would probably say something like:
(04:29:22 PM) lincolnthree1: /home/lincoln/projects/forge/[*.java/get*] 12 selected $
(04:29:33 PM) lincolnthree1: actually it would probably be something like:
(04:29:42 PM) lincolnthree1: /home/lincoln/projects/forge/[*.java/get*] 2432 selected $
(04:29:45 PM) lincolnthree1: lol
(04:29:50 PM) gegastaldi: Lol
(04:30:07 PM) gegastaldi: I like the idea
(04:30:25 PM) gegastaldi: But
(04:30:27 PM) lincolnthree1: or maybe
(04:30:36 PM) lincolnthree1: /home/lincoln/projects/forge/*.java/get* [2432 selected] $
