For pure fun I made this version of the beloved gnu emacs , editor’ name using only parenthesis characters of a fixed (Courier) font. I kind of like the result. Don’t you?

Embark-act allows selecting actions to be called for the object at or near point. It also permits doing additional tasks in flexible ways. So, besides the main action, one could conveniently carry on another task in between. Whether a candidate in a minibuffer selection, a region highlighted, a paragraph where our cursor is, a sexp, or the entire buffer you have open, Embark will handily show you a set of connected possible actions relevant to each target.

This excellent article from Karthinks points out that Embark operates on the premise of a shifted order of doing things. Instead of a “verb -> object” logic, it follows a swapped pattern of “object -> verb” (the grammar for target -> action, in Elisp terms). That is, rather than saying “open <file>”, when presented with a given candidate, it you choose what to do with that file (maybe open, delete it, insert-its-content-into-the-buffer, etc). A bunch of suitable actions appear to be discovered with this reversed grammar model, bringing power —like Yoda speaking in his oddly but wise backward-speech pattern.

Embark significantly boosts the power of users choosing actions. Therefore, any command is accessible to deal with whatever object we pick as a candidate. If it’s a file, file-related options are presented (such as copy, open, remove, etc.) If it’s a word, other pertinent commands will pop up as possible actions to call (move, uppercase, transpose, search-synonyms, etc.) The same regarding buffers, regions, sexp, and more. It returns relevant actions readily available, just a single shortcut letter away.

Whatever the thing, Embark presents sensitive options in place for the candidate (picking the nature of the target at point via metadata info that says what category of object it belongs to). By pulling from (easily configurable and expandable) maplists, these contextually relevant options provide quicker access to different actions for each candidate.

With Embark you are always closer, just a few keys away, from doing whatever you could do onto the targets. It even gives key bindings to unbound commands. All those single-key shortcuts act like abracadabras to magically ease things up within your flow.

There are about 320 available Embark functions classified for each object. (See them at https:/github.com/oantolin/embark/wiki/Default-Actions)

Its impact results in a Blizz of enhanced productivity.
The omniscient-like ubiquity of Embark makes doing things a snap. There are lots of other benefits and features worth checking, which you could read about at the library’s intro (https://github.com/oantolin/embark#quick-start)

Discover how deeply this UI innovating paradigm can benefit your editor´s usage. The genie of Embark and brothers went out of the bottle. Big thanks to Omar Antolin and Daniel Mendler, authors of Embark, Consult, and Marginalia, for these gems of tools that put (yet) more power into the hands of Emacs users!

awk  '/javascript\//'

doesn’t work
The way to do so is using the hexadecimal value of “/” which you can figure with the “od” unix command:

echo "/" | od -x

which returns:
0000000 0a2f
0000002

then doing:

awk '/javascripta2f/'

works fine!

ps: Of course in case you pasted text at the end of the buffer is simpler,
just a matter of:
“C-u SPC”
“C-SPC” to mark
“M – >” to go to the end

UPDATE: Actually, thanks to Peter (see comment below) I learned that this is possible just doing “C-x C-x after the yank if you have transient mark mode enabled” .

(This is also a litle probe of how magnanimously flexible the emacs lisp environment can actually be to allow us to record processes we want automated for later reuse)
Anyway:
1) I started to record the macro “C-(”
2) made the call to org-cycle to reveal-all by previously pressing C-u three times “C-u C-u C-u M-x org-cycle”
3) stopped recording macro “C-)”
4) did “M-x kmacro-name-last-macro” (which provides the lambda form of the last created macro)
5) ran “M-x insert-kbd-macro”
6) assigned a key binding to it (global-set-key(kbd “C-+”) ‘my-org-reveal-all)


(fset 'my-org-reveal-all
(lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p") (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ([21 21 21 134217816 111 114 103 45 99 121 99 108 101 return] 0 "%d")) arg)))

(global-set-key(kbd “C-+”) ‘my-org-reveal-all)

What worked instead, was iterating through and mysqldumping them individually with this shell oneliner:

for I in $(mysql -uroot -p****** -e 'show databases'); do  mysqldump -uroot -p****** $I > $I.sql; done;

I compressed those created files into one tar inmediately after:

ls -1 | xargs tar -cvzf backupOfDatabases.tgz

(global-unset-key (kbd “C-1”))
(define-key global-map (kbd “C-1”) ‘digit-argument)

By the way (a little tip) you can go: C-<digit ARG) instead of the C-u method; say to move 11 characters back, “C-11 C-b” is quicker than “C-u 11 C-b”, one less hit!

I proceded in two steps:
1) found the match in the file and pulled the line number

—————————————————————————————-
awk ‘/ May 10 /{a=$0; b = NR;}END{print a,” :: “,b}’ log.txt
—————————————————————————————-
which yielded:
Thu May 10 02:17:05 ART 2012 :: 29199076

2) then I dumped the content from the that line and filtered it with head
—————————————————————-
tail -n +29199076 log.txt | head -n 100
—————————————————————-
That is possible with the trick of using “tail -n +(N)” which brings lines from the N line onwards

As and alternative to the last one, as explained here, sed could’ve been used in the following manner:
—————————————————————-
sed -n -e 29199076,29199176 -e 29199077q log.txt
—————————————————————-
(the last parameter, for efficiency, tells to quit at the limit line + 1 )

Yeah, it’s over babe, we’re back in business!
