Gedit - External Tools specify Current file

Question

How do I specify the placeholder for the current in Gedit's manage external tools.

For example if I want this in my external tools what should i use?

perl -d:ptkdb my_current_file.pl

pertidy my_current_file.pl

The documentation lists a number of environment variables that can be used.

• GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_URI
• GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME
• GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_SCHEME
• GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_PATH
• GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_DIR
• GEDIT_DOCUMENTS_URI
• GEDIT_DOCUMENTS_PATH

Sounds like you might want GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME.

the perltidy and debugger work fine. Is there a way to execute the current file in a terminal? this is what I have but it executes in the bottom bar and then opens a terminal. gnome-terminal --working-directory=$GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_DIR & perl $GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_NAME – Madalene
