Please update CVS and give things a try. Magics can now be used in multiline
statements (with or wihtout leading %, depending on your %automagic settings).
Furthermore, magic calls now honor the same variable expansion mechanism
which aliases and system calls use:
Here's a trivial example:
In [17]: for i in range(3):
....: mkdir $i
....: !touch $i/hello
....: ls -l $i
....:
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 fperez wavelet 0 Apr 6 05:10 hello
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 fperez wavelet 0 Apr 6 05:10 hello
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 fperez wavelet 0 Apr 6 05:10 hello
This required changes in a lot of places, so some hard testing would be very
welcome before putting it into the wild. Let me know of any problems.
Best,
f
