Message-ID: <155DEC68569B714B86C2C7075F5EDA9826951AC4@DAKIYA1.pegasus.local> (raw)

I recently discovered that CYGWIN delivers "Exuberant Ctags" (Yes, etags too.) and it is used instead of emacs' etags. (GPL, available at http://ctags.sourceforge.net.)
Exuberant Ctags can be extended to look for other things via regular expression. It is a wonderful thing!
I can now look for tags in my shell code to by running:
etags --langdef=shell --regex-shell='/function [_[:alnum:]]+/[_[:alnum:]]+/' --language-force=shell
(Unfortunate side-effect: That can also pick up comments, so I also have to fix things:
sed -n -e '/#/d' -ep < TAGS > TTT && mv TTT TAGS
Oh, well.)
Shell programming is suddenly almost pleasant!
