If I wanted to output this exact same command but I don't want to write in shell script, I want to write it in C lang instead, what would be the syntax/command? Sorry for asking so much I am curious to know what would be the most simplest language to use for such a task so I am curious to know its syntax.
Printing a string to stdout should be similarly simple / performant in pretty much every language under the sun. :) So I wouldn't worry about it. It's the stuff you do to fetch information, like the workspaces, or temperatures, or workload, or whatever, where languages might be different in how easy/hard efficient/inefficient it is. Here is what printing your example string might look like in C:
char color[] = "#FF0000";
char output[] = "red foo";
printf("%%{B%s}%s%%{B-}\n", color, output);
Or, if the "red foo" and color never change, then just:
printf("%%{B#FF0000}red foo%%{B-}\n");
Interesting! However why would you declare color[]
as a char
, wouldn't it make more sense to declare it as an unsigned 4 byte integer?
Well, it really depends on the context. But let's say color
was an int
, then you could probably (I have not tested it) do this:
printf("%%{B#%08X}%s%%{B-}\n", color, output);
Oh I see mate thanks.
Have you used wmctrl
package before? I am trying to get the output of the workspace's name but that seems to fail so I was just curious you have some experience with it by any chance?
I didn't even know about it, but it sounds very useful.
Yeah I was recommended to use it, but yeah I can't get the current work space's name (I can get hte ID).
Again, I don't know Rust, hence I'm not sure what's happening there. But I assume you're looking at something like
printf()
orfprintf()
