This module adds an action to text objects called Calculate. This action pipes the text object through /usr/bin/bc (a math program) and the output is selected as the direct object again. /usr/bin/bc accepts standard mathematical operators, following order of operators. For more information, run man bc in the Terminal.

Type a math expression into Quicksilver in text mode and select the 'Calculate' action. For more information open the plug-in pref pane in Quicksilver. Hint: While an equal sign prefixing the expression is not required, doing so selects the 'Calculate' action by default.

• Quicksilver
• /usr/bin/bc (this should be installed by default)

• None
