Re: send selection or current line to Terminal/iTerm

[klebsiella <pierre.khoueiry@embl.de>]

So guys,

First thank you all for your time.

Here is the code in my .emacs (see below) that is supposed to do the job
(Thanks go to @JordonBiondo - Stackoverflow and also to you John Mastro)

I am now working on emacs (not Aquamacs) and the code is still not working.
Again, as I do not know Lisp, it was hard for me to debug !!! 

The error message given is I guess thrown by osascript, but may be linked to
a syntax problem in lisp:

100:100: syntax error: Expected string but found end of script. (-2741)
Process send-text-iterm2-proc exited abnormally with code 1

Osascript itself is working. For instance the following line runs correctly
on the terminal:

$ osascript -e 'tell application "iTerm" ' -e 'set mysession to current
session of current terminal' -e 'tell mysession to write text "ls"' -e 'end
tell'

It would be great to make it run (For everybody I believe)

.emacs related chunk
(defun sendtext:escape-text(s):
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert s)
    (replace-string "\\" "\\\\" nil (point-min) (point-max))
    (replace-string "\"" "\\\"" nil (point-min) (point-max))
    (buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max))))

(defun sendtext:send-iterm2(beg end)
  (interactive "r")
  (let ((text (buffer-substring-no-properties beg end)))
    (start-process "send-text-iterm2-proc" "*sendtext:output*"
                   "osascript" 
                   "-e" "tell app \"iTerm\""
                   "-e" "set mysession to current session of current
terminal"
                   "-e" "tell mysession to write text \""
                   (sendtext:escape-text text)
                   "\""
                   "-e" "end tell")))
