# c - bash directory changing functions that maintain a
# most-recently used stack.
#
# Run with -help as an argument to see invocation options, or find the
# d_usage function below.
#
# To use these functions, store this in a file someplace and
# then execute
#
# . filename
#
# where 'filename' is the file you stored this stuff in. You can then use c
# to change directories instead of cd. You'll probably the above line into
# your ~/.bash_profile if you like what these functions do for you.
#
# There's undoubtedly many shortcomings in the following. Changing dirs can
# be complicated. E.g., this will surely break if you have directories
# with whitespace in their names. That may not be too hard to fix, but I
# never do that, so I haven't worried about it. Sorry.
#
# Make sure you have a version of expr that knows how to do regex matches.
# Either via expr match str regex or expr str : regex. The code below uses
# the : form as it's older, and works on the expr that ships with Mac OS X
# and Ubuntu. If your expr can't handle : matches, get hold of the latest
# GNU sh-utils package and install that. It's a good idea to install it
# anyway, since some stock versions of expr are broken and will cause the
# below functions to break occasionally (e.g., Solaris 2.5.1 /usr/bin/expr
# gives a syntax error on expr match /usr / ).
