UBC OneDrive info/howto:
https://it.ubc.ca/services/web-servers-storage/microsoft-onedrive

Basically OneDrive is similar to our ownCloud/Nextcloud or Dropbox services.
You will have 2 ways to access it:

a) Cloud access
Faculty and staff who meet the service requirements will be able to access the tools at https://portal.office.com by signing in with their alias.
Login: firstname.lastname [at] ubc.ca
Password: your CWL password
and going through the UBC multi-factor authentication process.
From there, they can use the web-based versions or download the OneDrive software to install it onto your desktop/laptop locally.

b) Direct access as a local drive on your desktop/laptop
You will need to install an OneDrive software, download after you login "Cloud access", onto your device so it can sync data with the OneDrive on the Cloud.

AUCTeX: editing LaTeX files in Emacs

AUCTeX is an Emacs package that makes editing LaTeX documents so much easier. It has been installed and configured on StatNet servers (as of November 1, 2005). However, if you want to use it on your own computer, you'll need to download the package and install it yourself (it doesn't come with Emacs by default).

When emacs opens a file with a .tex extension, the additional menus are named LaTeX and Command

• From the LaTeX menu you can select many environments without typing them (e.g. begin{enumerate} ... end{enumerate}). There are also convenient shortcuts to make typing mouse-free and even faster (e.g. C-c C-e to insernt an environment).
• From the Command menu, you can run the latex, xdvi and pdflatex programs, etc, and do a spell check that ignores latex commands. Shortcuts are also available and are, in fact, quite smart: it only takes a couple of rounds of C-c C-c to compile the file and open the result in xdvi.

ESS: Emacs Speaks Statistics

ESS a GNU Emacs and XEmacs mode for interactive statistical programming and data analysis. It is particulary good for R and S-PLUS. It has been installed and configured on StatNet servers (as of November 1, 2005) but you'll need to install it yourself if you want to use it on your own computer.

ESS can be used to save/edit interactive sessions in Splus and R (as well as SAS, stata and other statistical packages).

1. To start R in emacs, type: Alt-X R (assuming Alt is your Meta key).
2. Within the R command prompt, hit Alt-P to access previous R commands and Alt-N to access next R commands (which can then be edited); the list of previous commands is cyclic, so the first hit of Alt-N will lead to the first command of your present session. Note: in a properly configured environment Shift-UpArrow and Shift-DownArrow work as well.
3. Requesting help on a function will bring the help documentation in a split screen, so that you can copy and paste the examples to run etc
4. There is function name completion with TAB (similar to command/filename completion in the bash shell)
5. more details about ESS, consult the help ess info within emacs (Crtl-h m, when in ESS)

UltraTex and Lightning Completion

The UltraTex and Lightning Completion packages (play very nicely with AucTeX) will also really speed up writing LaTeX and will make it virtually impossible to have mismatched parentheses, opened/closed environments, references to non-existent figures/table/sections, etc. (and many other maddening mistakes).

Most common regular expressions

[0-9]	digit
[a-z]	lower case letter
[A-Z]	upper case letter
[0-9a-zA-Z]	digit or letter
[ ]	space
[ t]	space or tab
[^0-9a-zA-Z]	not digit or letter
[0-9][a-z]	digit followed by letter
[0-9]{3,5}	(vi, grep, emacs) 3 to 5 digits in a sequence
[0-9]{3,5}	(perl) 3 to 5 digits in a sequence
[ ]+	(vi, grep) one of more spaces in a sequence
[ ]+	(emacs/viper, perl) one of more spaces in a sequence
.	any symbol but n (end of line)
z.{2}o	(grep, vi, emacs) z followed by 2 chars followed by o
^	beginning of line
$	end of line
^[ ]*$	line with zero or more spaces and nothing else (vi, perl, grep, emacs)
^$	empty line
^[^0-9a-zA-Z t]	line beginning with non-digit,letter,space
[0-9][0-9]/[0-9][0-9]/[0-9]{4}	(vi, emacs, grep) mm/dd/yyyy date format
	(vim) word beginning with doc
bdoc	(perl, emacs/viper, grep) word beginning with doc
ment>	(vim) word ending with ment
mentb	(perl, emacs/viper, grep) word ending with ment

Using regular expressions

GREP USAGE

put regexp in quotes, e.g. grep "^[ ]*$" files

VI USAGE

for search use / or ? followed by regexp, for replacement, use something like :10,35s/regexp1/regexp2/g where the two numbers indicate the line range; this also works in 'sed' (stream editing/batch mode of vi), and no line range for sed means all lines (i.e, :1,$ )

EMACS USAGE

ESC C-r or ESC C-s for searching for regexp M-x replace-regexp for replacement of regexp1 with regexp2

Complex regexp editing may be best done from sed or perl scripts.

Summary of perl regular expressions (from a perl book)

/abc/	matches 'abc' anywhere in string
/^abc/	matches 'abc' at beginning of string
/abc$/	matches 'abc' at end of string
/a|b/	matches 'a' or 'b'
/ab{2,4}c/	matches 'a' followed by 2-4 'b's followed by 'c'
/ab*c/	matches 'a' followed by 0 or more 'b's followed by 'c'
/ab+c/	matches 'a' followed by 1 or more 'b's followed by 'c'
/ab?c/	matches 'a' followed by 0-1 'b's followed by 'c'
/./	matches any character except 'n'
/[abc]/	matches any of the characters within []
/[^abc]/	matches a character not within [^]
/(abc)/	matches 'abc' anywhere in string, parentheses as a memory, storing 'abc' in the variables ,,, etc e.g. /name=(.*)&user=1/
/abc/i	matches 'abc' ignoring case
/d/ or /[0-9]/	matches a digit
/w/ or /[a-zA-Z0-9_]/	matches a character classified as a word
/s/ or /[ rtnf]/	matches a character classified as whitespace
/b/	matches a word boundary or a backspace
/D/ or /[^0-9]/	matches a character that is not a digit
/W/ or /[^a-zA-Z0-9_]/	matches a character that is not a word
/S/ or /[^ rtnf]/	matches a character that is not whitespace
/helloB/	requires that there is not word boundary (after hello)
/*/	matches *
