I have a vi macro (on unix) that goes like this to figletise the current line: :map @F !!figlet -c -f which will allow you to specify a font to use before you execute it (or you can delete the -f parameter to use the standard font). (Note that this is a TWO-key macro... @ then F in command mode!) The -c parameter just centers the result. (This macro goes into the EXINIT variable or into ~/.exrc) _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ | \ | | ___ __ _| |_ ( _ ) ___(_)_ __ ___ _ __ | | ___| | | \| |/ _ \/ _` | __| / _ \/\ / __| | '_ ` _ \| '_ \| |/ _ \ | | |\ | __/ (_| | |_ | (_> < \__ \ | | | | | | |_) | | __/_| |_| \_|\___|\__,_|\__| \___/\/ |___/_|_| |_| |_| .__/|_|\___(_) |_| :-) Cheers Tony _______________________________________________________________________________ \ Tony Nugent Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia / / Email: T.N...@sct.gu.edu.au tnu...@gucis.cit.gu.edu.au \ \ / / ** This Message Was Printed On 100% Recycled Electronics ** \ >-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-< \ for a in past present future; do / / for b in clients employers associates relatives neighbours pets; do \ \ echo The opinions in this article in no way reflect the opinions of my $a $b/ / done;done \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
