URxvt Contextual Execution

Provides a right-click menu that is dynamically generated from the "table.txt" content, combined with the selection in the terminal.

Requires:

• URXVT

Usage:

For testing (cause it don't work just yet) use the r script to run the urxvt terminal from the current directory with current table.txt

The format for the table.txt is currently:

regular expression "title for menu" exec|send|menu "cmd line args"

/regular expression/ - (Not enclosed in /) either the word MATCHALL or a regular expression. If a regular expression then the corresponding option will only appear if it matches the selection.

"title" - a title line that'll appear in the menu, with an optional %s that will be replaced by the selection text. NOTE: This line can be a maximum of 40 chars long. MUST BE QUOTED

• exec - execute a program, e.g. firefox -url $selection
• send - send text to the terminal input, e.g. nmap -sS -n -v $selection
• menu - construct a sub-menu for the popup w/ the content from somewhere

"arguments for command" - The string to either execute, or to send to the terminal. This string is evaluated in the current context, after the regex has been parsed. The scalar variable $selection contains the selected text, and any $1 $2 etc. variables from the regex are available.

Examples:

http|ftp  "wget $selection" send "wget --continue $selection"

This will match any string with http or ftp and sends the command wget --continue <the selected text> to the terminal.

(\d{1-3}\.\d{1-3}\.\d{1-3}\.\d{1-3}):(\d+) "nc $1 $2" send "nc -nvv $1 $2"

This will match an IP:PORT (maybe) and parse it into $1 and $2, allowing for a more nuanced command line composition.
