Using rosed to Edit Files in ROS

Using rosed to Edit Files in ROS

1) Close all current terminals. In a new terminal, edit your bash file to use nano (an editor):

  export EDITOR='nano -w'

Use

  echo $EDITOR

And see a line print to the terminal to make sure the bash file change was successful.

2) Use rosed [package_name] [filename] to edit a file within a package:

  rosed roscpp Logger.msg

This works similarly to other editors in a terminal. If running into trouble, try gedit.
