ig <ig-name>
This is an application that I have been working on for years and years. It is a kind of productivity app.
When every I would learn a new programming language, I would port this app to that new language. This has created a create deal of dormant code:
- director
- bash shell script
- python
- perl
- c
- java
ig openxml
The mapping of the directory is stored in an XML format and found via an environmental variable. Setting the environmental variables is a linux sysadmin topic.
# Retrieve the IGPATH environmental variable
my $igpath = $ENV{'IGPATH'} or die "Environment variable IGPATH not set.\n";
my $config_file = "$igpath/ig.xml";
Early Notes
The indiegoal application needs to be run while on the road, so currently knowledge is being built. I had some links about Mobile Application Development, but the server is forbidden now. These things happen. Hyperlinks are surfed and sometimes a server returns an error code in HTML.
More About indiegoal
Got it! Let's break down the Indiegoal application requirements. Here's a basic structure for your project in Perl, considering your expertise:
### Key Features:
1. Map Directory Hierarchy: Traverse and display a directory's structure.
2. Change Directory (gig): Implement a function to change the current working directory using an `ig-name`.
### Initial Plan:
- Command-line Interface (CLI): Allow users to run commands like `ig ` to navigate.
- Directory Traversal: Use Perl's `File::Find` or similar modules.
- Directory Change: Use `chdir` for the `gig` command.
Would you like a prototype script to get started? Let me know if you'd prefer additional functionality or specific design considerations!
