How to save changes while editing or modifying html source code in linux

in the editor you are using?
it is a universal command.

Question back would be, how have you done it in any other OS???

In vim it's :w

In emacs it's Control+X Control+S

In nano it's Control+O

In various gui things it's probably control+S, or click File->Save

It really depends on what you are using as an editor. And if your storage medium is write-able and you have permissions to do so.

Something you may find helpful is to configure CVS (the Concurrent Versions System), it may be installed on your system by default, it may not, but it's easy to find with your distribution software collection.

CVS is a version control system; i.e., you place a text file in the CVS repository then check it out for editing, edit, save it back, The nice thing is that you can manage the versions that you've saved (of just that file), you have a complete record of changes that were made and, if necessary, you can "roll them back" to a previous version.

It's not hard to learn, it's easy to use, and it beats the heck out of saving a bunch of files that you've edited and try to figure out which one needs fixing.

Hope this helps some.

@John VV: which post did you 'report'? (I don't understand why, unless #3)
Or did you mean *"Thread"* [reported]? (==post#1)
Or maybe my post in OP's other thread? (the answers here look ok to me)

fyi all, I just realized how to spot Threads likely needing response:
in ViewLatestPosts, look for ones with name of LastPost == ThreadStarter.

posters like "v1p3r-R" have become a problem issue

a one line that mostly dose not make any sence
or dose not give ANY NEEDED information
and with the OP's NEVER responding

just making new threads that are as unintelligible

There is no question in that post, so stop trying to answer it.
It appears the title of an article, but with no URL or content it is difficult to judge.

This thread has been closed.
