Re: Running command to different screen

[Mag Gam]

Buddy and all! 

Thanks that works! Now what if my names are different? Currently I am naming each session as the hostname. Is it possible to run it to all my windows eventhough my names are different? Also, are regular expressions allowed in :mode  ?

You need to look at the names of your windows (with ^A^W or ^A" or somesuch).  If all the windows are named "bash", you
can just substitute "bash" for "zsh" in the command line Phil gave you ... IOW, what he gave you isn't specific to zsh,
that's just what his windows happen to be named.

Just use "\015" instead.  That has always worked for me (and it's much easier to type).
