I'm trying to find a way to have the right click option to copy file name (or directory name).



I'm use nautilus scripts but I'm having a hard time figuring this out.



Can anybody help?

  • Thank you. The script works, but it ads two new lines at the end. Is there a way to remove them?

  • Well, now there's only one new line at the end. I'm on debian XFCE and installed Nautilus (3.4.2) as an extra file manager.

  • Thanks for your effort, but it still ads a line break at the end

  • Well, that definitely has to do with your setup because I used the last version for an entire day and it worked as expected on my system (no trailing newlines). Anyway, the proper way to do this would be with python (or, even better, C - but I don't know C) - however I don't have the time to look into this right now...

Open a terminal window.

cd "Directory" (without the quotes) -- hit the enter key.

ls (then hit "Enter" Key)



After the list is returned in the window, highlight and copy the list of returned files, then copy them to a doc or spreadsheet.



Example 1:

cd Documents (followed by Enter key)

ls (followed by Enter key)



Copy the generated list of files in the Documents directory/folder and paste into spreadsheet, or simply save them into a text file.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers.
