As I understand (Perl is new to me) Perl can be used to script against a Unix command line. What I want to do is run (hardcoded) command line calls, and search the output of these calls for RegEx matches. Is there a way to do this simply in Perl? How? EDIT: Sequence here is: -Call another program. -Run a regex against its output. ...
Spending most of my time in Visual Studio and using all the IDE tools. I wish I could spend more time using either of the following. *the Command Window in VS *cmd *cygwin, minGW... *PowerShell. *scripts?

Hello all, I extract the audio from a bunch of flv files as an MP3. This works great: ffmpeg -i video.flv -vn -acodec copy audio.mp3 However, some audio that I extract have durations that are longer than they should be and some MP3 files keep looping the audio! Also in some audio players like WMP, the seekbar gets stuck at one point....

Anyone knows how to compile a vb6 webclass dll from a command line? I am trying to build a tool for automating version building, but it fails with an 'Compile Error in File '[file name]', Line xxxx : Variable not defined' alert displayed. ...
Is there a Windows command that will output the size in bytes of a specified file like this? >filesize test.jpg 65212 I know that the dir command outputs this information, but it outputs other information also. I could easily write such a program but I would prefer to use a native Windows command if possible, or only what is availabl...
I'm trying to Zip a file through the command line for an SSIS package. I know 7-Zip is a great open source tool to use, but the server I will be deploying too does not have 7-Zip. The only tools I have are the Windows Compress.exe and Compact.exe. However when trying this it seems to create invalid/corrupt zip files. This is what I hav...
Hi y'all. I've just learned the basics of Ruby after being very happy with Python for several years (I'm still using Python for some things), but I'd like to know if there's an idiom or hack to solve this particular problem. I have a Ruby script which I'd like to be able to do require script_name with, but I'd also like to be able to ru...
I have a bcb5 project group that I am trying to compile with make.exe. Make seems to run fine and generates a call to bcc32.exe, but that fails. Here is the call to bcc32.exe followed by the error.

When building console applications that take parameters, you can use the arguments passed to Main(string[] args). In the past I've simply indexed/looped that array and done a few regular expressions to extract the values. However, when the commands get more complicated, the parsing can get pretty ugly. More recently, I built the world...
I can import a type library via tlibimp.exe, but when I open up the IDE, the libraries are not in the activex pallete. I can't seem to figure how to get it to install to a particular package either. In the IDE there is an install button in the Import Type Library dialog. How do I do this in the command line? When I look in at the OCX....
When compiling a makefile with the BCB5 commandline tools, the linker gives me this error: [exec] D:\PROGRA~1\Borland\CBUILD~1\Bin\..\BIN\ilink32 @MAKE0000.@@@ [exec] Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland [exec] Fatal: Unable to open file 'CONSTS.OBJ' [exec] ** error 2 ** deleting lib\paslib.lib I've checke...
I've been trying to build some huge projects in BCB5 for some time now. I want to use the command line tools because it would cut build time by more than 50% (it already takes 4 hours in the IDE). Often, projects will build just fine in the IDE but fail miserably in the command line. I did some digging and discovered this nice little ...

I'm scripting the checkout, build, distribution, test, and commit cycle for a large C++ solution that is using Monotone, CMake, Visual Studio Express 2008, and custom tests. All of the other parts seem pretty straight-forward, but I don't see how to compile the Visual Studio solution without getting the GUI. The script is written i...
While debugging SQL statements, if I accidentally execute a query in using the mysql command line that outputs at lot of results (even if the query itself executes in reasonable time), the only way I know of to stop the endless stream of output is CTRL-C. Unfortunately this puts me back in the shell, forcing me to login and select the ...
Is the a way to programmatically open a URL in a new tab in firefox without firefox gaining focus? What I found out so far: firefox -new-window <URL> lets ff stay in the background, but opens a new window instead of a tab. firefox -new-tab <URL> opens <URL> in a new tab but gives focus to ff. EDIT: What I'm trying to accomplish is mak...
I want to do some housekeeping before executing any external console applications (setting some environment vars). In my web research, it looks like overriding NotifyBeginApplication() in $host might do the trick. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do that. Here's essentially what I want to do... $host = $host | ` Add-Member ...
