From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Koray Erkan" To: "Plan 9" <9fans@cse.psu.edu> Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 09:17:20 +0200 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-9" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Subject: [9fans] Sam scripting Topicbox-Message-UUID: e5e64186-ead1-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Another Sam question (If enough voices raise objections, I'll try to create the "comp.editor.sam.do-play-it-again" newsgroup) : Can Sam be used as a *scripting* engine/server? Its command language is powerful and just what I need for so many chores in some of my work (software localization), so I'd be happy to learn that I can write a bunch of command sequences that I can mix with a scripting language (say a Cygwin bash script, or a Pyhton/Ruby thing under Windows) and then forward them to Sam to batch process some files. Thanks -- Koray P.S. Very pedantic note: The name rhymes with "rhye," not "say." Sorry, but it generally happens that with English speakers, the spelling first becomes "Korey", then the "e" drops and it becomes "Kory", finally someone - thinking it's best to avoid creative spelling - turns it into Cory. Nada! Not everything in Latin script is a transliteration of something into English. In modern Turkish, our 'a' is always as in "car."
