Cygwin Bash script: open any file in directory tree
Open any file in the directory tree (from current directory) in your favourite text editor. Useful when I can't be bothered typing out the whole path to a file buried in the project structure - usually a .java
file.
Note: This script is superseded the super charged version I published later. This script can't even search for files!
The script.
#!/bin/bash
# Open file in Ultraedit
if [ -e /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/UltraEdit/uedit32.exe ] ; then
editor=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/UltraEdit/uedit32.exe
elif [ -e /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/IDM\ Computer\ Solutions/UltraEdit-32/uedit32.exe ] ; then
editor=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/IDM\ Computer\ Solutions/UltraEdit-32/uedit32.exe
else
editor=/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/notepad
fi
while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
file="$1"
# If file cannot be found, search for it.
if [ ! -e "$file" ] ; then
file=`f -i "$file"`
# Cannot find the file anyway.
if [ -z "$file" ] ; then
echo No file found: $1
exit 2
fi
for newFile in $file ; do
if [ -z "$newFile" ]
then
echo No file found: $1
continue
fi
echo File: $newFile
"$editor" `cygpath -w -a "$newFile"` &
done
else
echo File: $file
"$editor" `cygpath -w -a "$file"` &
fi
shift
done
