# SCVIM STARTUP SCRIPT
# By Mads Kjeldgaard
# --------------------
#
# Usage: bash <path/to/this/script> <optional/path/to/supercollider/file> 
# 
# Example: bash scvim_startup_script.sh cool_project.scd
#
# --------------------
# A startup script for SuperCollider, Vim and TMUX
# This will start a new Tmux session with Vim and the SuperCollider interpreter
# running inside of it.
#
# It will automatically create a .scd buffer with the name of the current date.

# Change this to wherever you have your SuperCollider code saved
# Default is ~/ aka your user directory
SCDIR=${SCDIR:-"/Users/madskjeldgaard/scripts/sc"}

TMUX=${TMUX:-"tmux"}
SESSION=${SESSION:-"SuperCollider"}

# Check for command line arguments
# First argument of the script is a path to a file
# If the argument is nil, it will create a new file
# in your standard directory defined in SCDIR
if [ -z "$1" ]; 
    then
    # If there is no command line argument passed

    # Concatenate the directory path and the filename of the current file
    FILE=${FILE:-$SCDIR"/_sessions/SC_$(date '+%y%m%d').scd"}

    # echo "$SCDIR$(date '+%d%m%Y').scd"
else
    # If there IS command line argument passed
    FILE=${FILE:-"$1"}

# Start TMUX session with Vim, create a file and execute the SClangStart command
