Android API level 8 introduced the Context.getExternalFilesDir() method, providing a File object reference to an SD card path specific to your app. I am wondering how to mimic this as low as API level 5. I see there is a Context.getDir() method, but I can't tell from reading about it how this differs. ...
What's the correct way to durably rename a file in a POSIX file system? Specifically wondering about fsyncs on the directories. Note: there are other questions on StackOverflow about durable renames, but AFAICT they don't address fsync-ing the directories (which is what matters to me - I'm not even modifying file data). I currently ha...
Hi, I'm looking for a command which finds all files in a directory using a specific partern, lets say "*.txt" and create a list of parameters from it in BASH.

I usually use something like my $dir="/path/to/dir"; opendir(DIR, $dir) or die "can't open $dir: $!"; my @files = readdir DIR; closedir DIR; or sometimes I use glob, but anyway, I always need to add a line or two to filter out . and .. which is quite annoying. How do you usually go about this common task? ...

Note: It was tough deciding whether this belonged here or ServerFault, but it seemed like a programming problem, so if it's out of place, feel free to migrate it. I downloaded the sandbox of Symfony 1.4.8 and copied the files to my webserver. Unfortunately, when I try to access /symfony/sf_sandbox/web/ (where I installed it), I get the ...
