Project TAM. GOAL: The very reason of this project is to make Your life easy at least for a little bit thanks to efficient automation of daily routine. FUNCTIONS: For now, TAM makes possible to find files in whatever directory and run them with chosen viewers. hmmm… yea, looks rather boring ain’t it??? :)) well, let’s look on some examples & details will show You how this “boring” feature can make Your life better. Examples: So, actually we have hella number of files & we (in many cases) need to use regex to make searching through that endless damn heap efficient, but the most of us have no time to learn such stuff + regex software have some differences. 2nd moment, we need not just run files, but run them with different options. So, let’s deal w/ example… python3 ./tam.py -path0 “/tst” -find_files -tmp_file “/tmp/tst02” -in_name “.mp4” -view_w “vlc --sout-x264-b-bias=-15” -view_w “smplayer” -cols 2 -rows 15 -col_w 100 -in_name “some” -path0 sets folder to search stuff. -find_files activates function to search. -tmp_file sets tmp files (actually, the’re two tmp files: in our case, /tmp/norm_tst02 & /tmp/err_tst02). -in_name sets keyword. -view_w sets viewer w/ options. -cols sets number of columns. -rows sets number of rows. -col_w sets width of column. +++++++++++++ This command forms table of found files, each file gets a number + we see list of viewers (each viewer has own key number too)… To run file, we write “ ”, then press Enter. for instance, “0 2” runs file (key number “2”) w/ viewer (key number “0”). Command “np” shows next page/table. “pp” - previous page. “go2 ” “0p” - 1st page. “lp” - last one. "fp " shows full path to chosen file. ctrl + c to exit. Supported Platforms: So far, TAM has been tested only for Linux. However, theoretically this variant must work on FreeBSD, NetBSD & MacOS quite smoothly (but i don’t guarantee it). my the Best Wishes to You :upside_down_face: GitHub - SarK0Y/TAM[^] P.S. Actually, current version (1.8-43) can do more… copy/move files. advanced path auto-completion.

Ingo, did you write asm codes ever???:D

heh, i wasn't here for awhile :) actually, ye're wrong on that: readable codes are good, only if you have no the needs of deep optimizations. deep optimization means vast asming. P.S. for fast sorting of floats, my if-reduced code http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsort--no-if/?source=navbar :)

heh, i wasn't here for awhile

yes, readability is worse :) but superfluous IFs make code slower. Actually, it will be extremely helpful, if new compilers shall be able to generate such blocks of IFs. :-D

Good Time to all, Amici(Friends). Here, i'd like to discuss how to reduce conditional branches in the code. 1st of the all, i would like to share some tricks. Their description is here. :-D ----------------------- Thanks in Advance for attention of Yours.
