Emily
​morning xah

Justin Heyes-Jones
​Morning all

Emily
​why don't you use --batch with --eval

Emily
​text-scale-increase

Emily
​@Xah Lee ^^

Emily
​by using --batch with --eval '(...elisp...)' you can evaluate elisp without opening emacs and just run it from the command line

Emily
​you'll need to quote the elisp

Emily
​so emacs -q --eval '(text-scale-increase)'

Emily
​yeah sorry - messages are taking like a minute to get through

Emily
​we can see you

Emily
​all fine

Emily
​you can do something like this: ```emacs -q --batch --eval '(print (random))'```

Emily
​why not write a .el file with your normal emacs then evaluate that with a new emacs -q instance?

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee I'm alive.

Emily
​you may need to wrap it in a progn - i'm unsure

BartholomewJS
​You want BATSH? Right.

Emily
​you need to --load

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Tilde is soooo UNIX-like . Why are you a *NIX shill?

Emily
​i am unsure if you can just call emacs on a file like that - that normally opens the file not evaluate it

BartholomewJS
​@Xah Lee Use backslash for directoriy paths, so you don't use UNIX paths.

Emily
​you'll still need --batch for it to not open emacs

Emily
​so 'emacs -q --batch --load ~/xxx.el'

Emily
​that will print it out in the terminal which may be easier to see

Nabi Yang
​you set a newbie in front of vim and ask them to try exiting the program 😛

Emily
​thank you !
