How do I prevent the prompt overwriting output when there is no newline?

Z-Shell Frequently-Asked Questions
The problem is, for example, % echo -n foo % and the foo has been overwritten by the prompt %. The reason this happens is that the option PROMPT_CR is enabled by default, and it outputs a carriage return before the prompt in order to ensure that the line editor knows what column it is in (this is needed to position the right-side prompt correctly ($RPROMPT, $RPS1) and to avoid screen corruption when performing line editing). If you add unsetopt promptcr to your .

How do I get a newline in my prompt?

Z-Shell Frequently-Asked Questions
You can place a literal newline in quotes, i.e. PROMPT="Hi Joe, what now?%# " If you have the bad taste to set the option cshjunkiequotes, which inhibits such behaviour, you will have to bracket this with unsetopt cshjunkiequotes and setopt cshjunkiequotes, or put it in your .zshrc before the option is set. In recent versions of zsh (not 3.0), there is a form of quoting which interprets print sequences like '\n' but otherwise acts like single quotes: surround the string with $'...'.

Can Rev-Trac prevent accidental overwriting of changes?

Revelation Software Concepts: Products > Rev-Trac > FAQ
Rev-Trac can automatically detect whether a proposed migration will cause a workbench object or configuration change in the target system to be overwritten before the migration occurs. In addition, if the effect of a proposed migration will be to skip an earlier released transport carrying the same object or configuration, Rev-Trac will report an overtake. Rev-Trac may be configured to block automatic, on-approval migrations completely if a potential overwrite or overtake is detected.

How to indicate a line break or a significant newline?

Docutils FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How can I set the prompt in the files section ?

news.answers/waffle-faq
Use the 'fileprom' static file parameter. Try 'fileprom : [$f] :' as an example. (it was undocumented before v1.65) If you use DSZ, it directly accesses the UART, and uses the FIFOs. By default, it turns them OFF when it finishes. Since Waffle doesn't reset the Fossil driver, it tries stuffing characters into a buffer that's turned off. Check your /waffle/system/dirs file. This error occurs if the user does not have access to the root file directory ('files:' in the static file).

How can I delete the newline which is followed by a given character, such as |?

VIM FAQs - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (...
Look at this problem this way: If there is a newline before the character then the character is the first character of the next line, i.e., it follows the start-of-line meta character (^). So the command to use is to look globally for all lines starting with the given character and the command to use on these lines is go back one line and join which will remove the next newline. How do I use the join command within a range of lines that ends with * and begins with the previous |? ?^|?,/*$/join
