It's a nice and simple way to log your activities. I use it all the time. I would use Notepadd++ if it had this as a native feature, without the need of mapping a shortcut.
- waterhouse 11y agoI used this for a long time: alias log='(date; cat) >>' ~> log file.txt Some log lines. Followed by a control-D. ^D ~> log file.txt And some more. ^D ~> cat file.txt Sat Feb 27 00:16:49 PST 2016 Some log lines. Followed by a control-D. Sat Feb 27 00:17:04 PST 2016 And some more. But then I wanted to be able to write to the same logfile from a few terminals at once without interleaving the lines, so: (fish syntax) function log set --local the_log $HOME/incomplete-logs/$argv[1]-(date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S") date >> $the_log rlwrap cat >> $the_log and cat $the_log >> $argv[1] and mv $the_log (dirname $the_log)/../completed-logs/ end
