Using SQL Plus, you can run a script with the "@" operator from the command line, as in: c:\>sqlplus username/password@databasename @"c:\my_script.sql" But is it possible to just run a single command with a similar syntax, without a whole separate script file? As in: c:\>sqlplus username/password@databasename @execute some_procedure...
Hello, I'm getting a strange 5 to 7 second pause when executing PHP scripts from the command-line PHP client (PHP 5.2 on Windows). During this pause the PHP script just appears to 'freeze' for a while before returning to the command prompt. It is not using any significant CPU time, it's like it is waiting for some delay. After experi...
I've got a command line version of an Eclipse RCP GUI application that can makes use of a lot of the same plugins (this is handy for integration testing). One thing it does is connects to a server, requests stuff and starts an interactive loop. To exit, the user of the GUI app can stop the loop and close the application. In my command l...
As mentioned in the docs the optparse.OptionParser uses an IndentedHelpFormatter to output the formatted option help, for which which I found some API documentation.

I have a text file of about 20 million lines. Each line is 25 characters long. I estimate that there are probably about 200k-300k unique lines. What I want to find out is exactly how many unique lines there are, and how many occurrences of each line there are (I expect the result to be power-law-esque). I could do this: sort bigfile...

I've got what seems like it should be a really simple problem, but it's proving much harder than I expected. Here's the issue: I've got a fairly large image sequence consisting of numbered frames (output from Maya, for what its worth). The images are currently in Targa (.tga) format, but I could convert them to PNGs or other arbitrary...

Hello all, I was kindly helped a few minutes ago by a user named Juliano and the script works fine but it just baffles me why it continues to work when I press enter, if I don't it just sits there untill I have to keep pressing enter.

I have run into two situations lately where I have chosen to use the command line for doing something rather than the PHP library. For example, in PHP doing this: `curl http://someplace.com` instead of this: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_exec(...
What is the best way to convert a table within an HTML document to an excel-readable file? I would like this to be a command-line tool that I can call in bash on my mac, as I'd like to batch process a bunch of HTML files. I know I could write a script to do this fairly easily, but am looking for generic, existing tools that can be call...
The postbuild task for one of our solutions uses xcopy to move files into a common directory for build artifacts. For some reason, on my computer (and on a VM I tested), the xcopy fails with "Access Denied". Here's what I've done to try and isolate the problems: I tried a normal copy; this works. I double-checked that none of the fil...

Does anyone know of a good way to do remote administration of a Windows XP machine using just the command line? At the moment the only things it needs to do is to be able to install applications/patches, and transfer files to and from the machine, and installing registry patches would be nice as well. Currently we use a horrible hack...
