I would like to add a textstring to an existing file with the command line. I’m working on a windows 10 machine.
With the cmd.exe I’m already in the sublime-folder.
I’m trying this:
subl test.js --comand insert hello
But it is not inserting hello to the file test.js. This command opens test.js and is creating a new file with the name hello.
What I’m doing wrong?
you need to pass the command arguments as JSON, try something like:
subl test.js --command "insert { \"characters\": \"hello\" }"
note that if the file is not already open, it may be better to do it as two separate operations:
subl test.js && subl --command "insert { \"characters\": \"hello\" }"
otherwise its possible it could execute the command before it opens the file you specify
Thanks for your help.
It’s not working in one line.
But if write it in two lines it sends the string to the file.
subl test.js
subl --command “insert { “characters”: “hello” }”
