scratchpad olivierp <div> [peacemaker1820] This could help identify what you have in that string: <code> use Unicode::CharName qw/uname/; use Unicode::UCD qw/charinfo/; my $value = <what you are looking at> my $c; print "Unicode Charname:\tHexValue:\tCharCode\n"; for (split //, $value) { $c = ord($_); print uname($c) .":\t" . charinfo($c)->{code} . ":\t$c\n"; } </code> </div> <div> [graq], I can't help for 1 (don't use CVS, as I do short scripts 95% of the time)<br/> However, here's the simple stuff I have in my .emacs for folding & cperl:<br/> <code> ;; I stick my personal libs here: (setq load-path (cons "~/elisp/" load-path)) ;; Some new colors for Font-lock. (require 'font-lock) ;; This thing is great ! (require 'folding) (autoload 'folding-mode "folding" "Folding mode" t) ;; I prefer cperl to the usual perl-mode (autoload 'perl-mode "cperl-mode" "alternate mode for editing Perl programs" t) (setq cperl-hairy t) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.[Pp][LlMm]\\'" . cperl-mode) auto-mode-alist)) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.t\\'" . cperl-mode) auto-mode-alist)) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.pod\\'" . cperl-mode) auto-mode-alist)) </code> <br/> To mark a block (or whatever) for folding: <code> # Begin a fold mark: # {{{ A space after the three { is required. sub folded{ print "This is hidden with folding-mode";} # }}} # The "# }}}" ends the fold mark </code> The above, when folding is active displays this: <code> # Begin a fold mark: # {{{ A space after the three { is required.... # The "# }}}" ends the fold mark </code> As for "creating" a new empty file: C-x C-f<br/> Then enter a file name that doesn't exist in the current directory :)<br/> If in doubt, type one or 2 chars, and hit TAB twice ... emacs has auto-completion ! HTH. </div> <br />[id://325697] <br />[id://415955]
