tplay () { totem-audio-preview $(youtube-dl -g --default-search auto "$@" | tail -1)"; }

You can put that on your .bashrc, then:

tplay 'melano - on fire'

Also, you might need to
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl

LITERALLY FUCK YOU NIGGER FAGGOT

There is no need for filthy language...
The fucked posted something that he just learned, don't be a dick. This is why you shitpost.

WELCOME TO THE SUCK RAJEED YOU FUCKING CURRY NIGGER

A small tip for people who likes to write small bash functions and put them in the bashrc:

Put them in a separate file with the same name as the function in a script folder.

Now you can make a script manager.

Then you can easily print, edit, or add scripts as you wish.

And your bashrc won't get a huge un manageable mess as it will only include the sourcing of the include file.

small tip from a non faggot here

put all of your bash functions in your ~/.bashrc instead of making a separate folder. that way you're not a faggot

.t not a faggot

Thanks for the tip. Where to put and how to import that folder?

you don't "import" the folder you would call the functions

Well, I have to put the function definitions somewhere, right? Other than in .bashrc, that is.

Try this as an example:
$ cd && mkdir scripts && nano ~/scripts/test.sh

Write this in the file:
echo this is a test!
Hit control x then answer y and press enter to save

$ nano ~/.bashrc

Add this to the file:
#Aliases from ~/scripts
alias testme='/home/scripts.test.sh

Hit control x then answer y and press enter to save
$ . ~/.bashrc

test your shit out by typing
testme

You forgot a quote faggot.

install-gentoo() {
str="${@:-Install Gentoo}"

clr() { printf '\033c'; }; clr

while :; do
printf '\033[%s;%sf\033[%sm%s\033[m' \
"$((RANDOM%LINES+1))" \
"$((RANDOM%$((COLUMNS-${#str}+2))))" \
"$((RANDOM%8+30))" \
"$str"
read -s -n 1 -t .01 && clr && break
done
}

And here's something useful

## Easy extract
extract () {
if [ -f $1 ] ; then
case $1 in
*.tar.bz2) tar xvjf $1 ;;
*.tar.gz) tar xvzf $1 ;;
*.bz2) bunzip2 $1 ;;
*.rar) rar x $1 ;;
*.gz) gunzip $1 ;;
*.tar) tar xvf $1 ;;
*.tbz2) tar xvjf $1 ;;
*.tgz) tar xvzf $1 ;;
*.zip) unzip $1 ;;
*.Z) uncompress $1 ;;
*.7z) 7z x $1 ;;
*) echo "don't know how to extract '$1'..." ;;
esac
else
echo "'$1' is not a valid file!"
fi
}

Quote your variables.

here you go

echo "'No.' -some variable"

muh dik

thanks op this is cool

Enjoy your broken script then, faggot.

Bash scripting is why I can't go back to windows.

Although windows 10 has that bash support now, windows 10 is a disaster in slow motion.

it works fine. you would know that if you tested it.

Least until you hit a filename with a space in it

Nice.

you're right. fixed

## Easy extract
extract () {
if [ -f "$1" ] ; then
case "$1" in
*.tar.bz2) tar xvjf "$1" ;;
*.tar.gz) tar xvzf "$1" ;;
*.bz2) bunzip2 "$1" ;;
*.rar) rar x "$1" ;;
*.gz) gunzip "$1" ;;
*.tar) tar xvf "$1" ;;
*.tbz2) tar xvjf "$1" ;;
*.tgz) tar xvzf "$1" ;;
*.zip) unzip "$1" ;;
*.Z) uncompress "$1" ;;
*.7z) 7z x "$1" ;;
*) echo "don't know how to extract '$1'..." ;;
esac
else
echo "'$1' is not a valid file!"
fi
}

Fails when the filename starts with a dash

also when there's a laughing emoji at the beginning of the file

i think unzip has a problem with it not the script

fuck laughing emojis

Putting a single dash (-) after the options stops most of the programs from treating rest of the arguments as options.

after the option?

Like so: unzip --any-option-you-need - "$1"

else
echo "'$1' is a bad filename, and you should feel bad about it. !"
fi
}

>that delicious teen cleavage
muh lord

Yeah, if anyone seriously saves files with emojis or dashes at the start they can get fucked

## Misc Maint.
alias @root='du -x / | sort -n'

A single dash makes programs read from stdin. To make filename starting with a dash work, you need to use double dash --

# find which log files contain (or don't contain) particular error messages
for i in *.log; do grep OutOfMemo $i >/dev/null && echo $i oom || echo $i ok; done

# random corporate bullshit printer
curl -s cbsg.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/live | grep -Eo '^.*' | sed s,\,,g | shuf -n 1

Quote your variables.
Also grep -r *.log will do this without loop.
Read manpages.

More.

Or you could just use tar xf file.ext

It will still break.

Run echo "'faggot' is not a valid file!" to see why. You can prevent this using ' instead of ".

alias kimg='cat /dev/urandom | hexdump -C | grep "ca fe"'

hile ! ping -c1 the_host_down; do sleep 1; done && date | mail -s 'the host is back!' [email protected]

>pick random bits, convert them to hex and grep the lines which have the line "ca fe", corresponding to 1100101011111110
For what purpose

its fun

/(?=.*?word1)(?=.*?word2).*/

Not a script but a small regexp to match something only if it contains both words, no matter the order

Doin' that with mpd and bookmarklets and a little shell script to get stuff to play from my smartphone.

Also dwm and custom xsetroot script.

alias k='cd && clear'

Just use unp

we've had enough suggestions on this function

Or you could just add the script folder to your $PATH like a normal human being instead of over-engineering it.

You don't even need to keep the .sh extension if you add a shebang at the start of the file (#!/bin/sh)

^this

Put this line in your bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Put all your fuckin scripts in ~/bin dir

Ubuntu touch is so cute, shame it didn't catch on

this guy went to bed 9 1/2 hours ago.

Which means he's probably up now.
