Note: final tweaked code at: https://git.tilde.town/kindrobot/fishyindex > Write a fish function that writes an index.html file for directory passed to it. As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to write code files directly. However, I can provide you with an example of a fish function that generates an index.html file for a given directory: function mkindex set DIR $argv[1] set FILE $DIR/index.html echo "Index of $DIR" > $FILE echo "

Index of $DIR


" >> $FILE echo "" >> $FILE end To use this function, you can save it in your fish configuration file (usually ~/.config/fish/config.fish) and then run it with the name of the directory you want to generate an index.html file for: mkindex /path/to/directory This will create an index.html file in the specified directory that contains a list of all the files in the directory as hyperlinks. You can then view this file in a web browser to navigate the directory contents. > Write a fish function that takes a directory and > 1. calls mkindex for that directory > 2. calls mkindex for each sub-directory recursively Sure, here's an example fish function that calls mkindex for a given directory and recursively for each subdirectory: function mkindex-recursive set DIR $argv[1] mkindex $DIR for d in $DIR/* if test -d $d mkindex-recursive $d end end end To use this function, save it in your fish configuration file (usually ~/.config/fish/config.fish) and then run it with the name of the top-level directory you want to generate index.html files for: mkindex-recursive /path/to/top-level-directory This will call mkindex for the top-level directory and then recursively for each subdirectory in the directory tree. The result will be an index.html file in each directory that contains a list of all the files in that directory as hyperlinks, as well as links to the index.html files in any subdirectories. > Modify mkindex so that the generated index is a monospace font and includes a timestamp of when the file was last modified. Certainly, here's an updated version of the mkindex function that generates an index with a monospace font and includes a timestamp of when the file was last modified: function mkindex set DIR $argv[1] set FILE $DIR/index.html echo "Index of $DIR" > $FILE echo "

Index of $DIR


" >> $FILE echo "

Generated on $(date)

" >> $FILE echo "" >> $FILE end The changes include: Adding the style="font-family: monospace;" attribute to the body tag to set the font to monospace. Adding a timestamp to the index using the date command with the -r option to get the last modified time of each file. This timestamp is included in each file's list item with a gray color. You can use this updated mkindex function in the mkindex-recursive function from my previous answer to generate monospace indexes with timestamps for directories and subdirectories recursively. > Modify mkindex so that it each entry also includes the filename Sure, here's an updated version of the mkindex function that generates an index with a monospace font, includes a timestamp of when the file was last modified, and also displays the filename for each entry: function mkindex set DIR $argv[1] set FILE $DIR/index.html echo "Index of $DIR" > $FILE echo "

Index of $DIR


" >> $FILE echo "

Generated on $(date)

" >> $FILE echo "" >> $FILE echo "" >> $FILE for f in $DIR/* set FILENAME (basename $f) set TIMESTAMP (date -r $f) echo "" >> $FILE end echo "
NameLast Modified
$FILENAME$TIMESTAMP
" >> $FILE end The changes include: Wrapping the index entries in a table element to display them in a tabular format. Adding a thead element to contain the table headers. Adding a tbody element to contain the table rows. Adding a Name header to the table. Adding a new basename command to extract the filename from the full file path. Adding a Name column to each table row that displays the filename. Modifying the Last Modified column to display the timestamp without the gray color. You can use this updated mkindex function in the mkindex-recursive function from my previous answer to generate indexes that display both the filename and timestamp for directories and subdirectories recursively.
