    <p>The following simple version control script is meant to find the last version number of a given file, increment it, run a given command with the newly created file (e.g., editor), and after that save it to stable. Since it's simple, it doesn't check anything since the script would be modified as needed. For instance, if the result won't be stable, the user can omit the last argument.</p> <p>However, one major concern of the current functionality is how to implement the following: if the last section after dot has two digits, inc untill 99; if only 1, then inc until 9, then move to the previous section. The versions may have any positive integer number of sections.</p> <pre><code>1.2.3.44 -&gt; 1.2.3.45 1.2.3.9 -&gt; 1.2.4.0 1.2.3 -&gt; 1.2.4 9 -&gt; 10 </code></pre> <p>The remaining issue is that it doesn't wait for a tabbed wine editor to close the file; the goal is to detect when the tab is closed. Also, could you explain how best to make sure that my variable names don't overwrite existing ones?</p> <p>You can also offer other improvements.</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash #Tested on bash 4.1.5 #All arguments in order: "folder with file" "file pattern" cmd [stable name] folder="$1" file_pattern="$2" cmd="$3" stable="$4" cd "$folder" last_version=$(ls --format=single-column --almost-all | \ grep "$file_pattern" | \ sed -nr 's/^[^0-9]*(([0-9]+\.)*[0-9]+).*/\1/p' | \ sort -Vu | \ tail -n 1) last_version_file=$(ls --format=single-column --almost-all | \ grep "$file_pattern" | \ grep $last_version | \ tail -n 1) #tail -n 1 is only needed to get 1 line if there are backup files with the same version number new_version=$(echo $last_version | \ gawk -F"." '{$NF+=1}{print $0RT}' OFS="." ORS="") #increments last section indefinitely new_version_file=$(echo "$last_version_file" | \ sed -r "s/$last_version/$new_version/") cp "$last_version_file" "$new_version_file" "$cmd" "$new_version_file" &amp; \ wait #works with gedit but not with wine tabbed editor [[ "$stable" ]] &amp;&amp; \ cp "$new_version_file" "$stable" #True if the length of string is non-zero. </code></pre> <p>Update: The following works on my pc, I will update it if improvements or solutions to unsolved problems are found:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash inc() { shopt -s extglob num=${last_version//./} let num++ re=${last_version//./)(} re=${re//[0-9]/.}')' re=${re#*)} count=${last_version//[0-9]/} count=$(wc -c&lt;&lt;&lt;$count) out='' for ((i=count-1;i&gt;0;i--)) ; do out='.\\'$i$out done sed -r s/$re$/$out/ &lt;&lt;&lt;$num } folder="$1" file_pattern="$2" cmd="$3" stable="$4" cd "$folder" last_version=$(ls --format=single-column --almost-all | \ grep "$file_pattern" | \ sed -nr 's/^[^0-9]*(([0-9]+\.)*[0-9]+).*/\1/p' | \ sort -Vu | \ tail -n 1) #--almost-all do not list implied . and .. last_version_file=$(ls --format=single-column --almost-all | \ grep "$file_pattern" | \ grep $last_version | \ tail -n 1) #tail -n 1 is only needed to get 1 line if there are backup files with the same version number new_version=$(inc) new_version_file=$(echo "$last_version_file" | \ sed -r "s/$last_version/$new_version/") cp "$last_version_file" "$new_version_file" "$cmd" "$new_version_file" &amp;&amp; \ wait #works with gedit but not tabbed wine editor [[ "$stable" ]] &amp;&amp; \ cp "$new_version_file" "$stable" #True if the length of string is non-zero. </code></pre> <p>I appreciate the variety of solutions that have been offered, for they help with gaining a perspective and drawing a comparison.</p>

    1. COi've never used the wine tabbed editor, so can't assist there, but please elaborate on what you mean by '..make sure that my variable names don't overwrite existing ones..' - what is the context of that? special shell variables or vars in your script?

    3. COI meant any tabbed editor run by wine, e.g., Notepad Tabs. As for folders, I mean if a person uses $folder themselves, e.g., for their editor command: alias edit="$folder\Notepad2" then it might not work properly within this script.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
