I have used http://jsbeautifier.org/ successfully using Rhino and ant, but the problem is that it is not deterministic. If you run the beautifier twice on a file the result is different from each time, e.g. each pass inserts additional array intendation on some lines. I have spent a lot of time debugging the code in beautify.js and have...
When printing the "usage" of an application, should it be done on stdout or on stderr? Depending on the application I've seen several cases, but there doesn't seem to be one rule. Maybe I'm mistaken and there is one good practice. In that case, what is it? ...
Hi I'm writing an installer for some software that uses MySQL. I'm trying to run a .sql script to set up the database on install. Alas I'm having big problems getting it to execute at the moment. The issue seems to arise from the fact that the moment you put a path to the .sql file inside the --execute="SOURCE " command everything f...
I'm currently creating a new neat CLI library for PHP, and i'd like to figure out the width/height of the console it's running in. I've tried many things like digging through $_ENV, exec("echo $COLUMNS"), etc, but no result, while if i type echo $COLUMNS or $ROWS in bash commandline, it neatly displays the value. What do i need to do ...

Hi All, I am trying to automate the rendering of several pov files so I made a simple script that runs all the pov (pvengine.exe...etc) in a for loop. However, this doesn't work since the GUI editor always comes up so that I have to manually close it down before the next one can start. By looking on this forum and google, there is appa...
(Context: I'm trying to monitor a long-running process from a Perl CGI script. It backs up an MSSQL database and then 7-zips it. So far, the backup part (using WITH STATS=1) outputs to a file, which I can have the browser look at, refreshing every few seconds, and it works.) I'm trying to use 7zip's command-line utility but capture t...
I am developing a console application in C#, and was wondering if there was a way to get the "copy-paste" or "mark-paste" functionality into my application, similar or identical to that of the standard Windows command prompt. Is this a wild goose chase or a simple application variable? ...

Example: cat in.txt | perl -ne "s/abc/def/; s/fgh/hij/; print;" > out.txt I have no idea where I learned this, and have only today read perlrun and found there are other forms (perl -pe for example). What else sh...

Hi, I have some problem to figure out how I can maintain the pipe and redirect functionality of a shell once I find out that there are missing command line arguments. If I for example use a scanf call, that will work with a re-direct or a pipe from a shell, but in absence of this I get a prompt, which I don't want. I would like to ac...

I want to know how can I make it look like a regular script: ./myscript.rb cake:bake as opposed to rake -f myscript.rb cake:bake any idea? Of course, rake must still be installed etc.. simply to ...

I am trying to send a get or a post through a command-line argument. That is test the script in the command line before I test through a browser (the server has issues).
