Save and Run Ext

Run saved file in Terminal or a VS Code Extension command

Fork from vscode-save-and-run

Extends the original extension to execute VS Code extension commands or terminal-commands

Features

Configure multiple commands (terminal or command from VS Code extension) that run when a file is saved
Regex pattern matching for files that trigger commands running

Note

Commands only get run when saving an existing file. Creating new files, and Save as... don't trigger the commands.
For Ubuntu user, you have to install xclip
```
sudo apt-get install xclip
```

Configuration

"commands" - array of commands that will be run whenever a file is saved.
- "match" - a regex for matching which files to run commands on
