In my program I need to check that several paths to files are inside system temporary files folder (for example C:\Users\Roman\AppData\Local\Temp). I haven't found any method in System.IO.File, System.IO.Directory and System.IO.Path classes to do so. So I created my own: public static bool IsSafeToDeleteFileOrDirectory(string path) { ...

Why should I use a human readable file format in preference to a binary one? Is there ever a situation when this isn't the case? EDIT: I did have this as an explanation when initially posting the question, but it's not so relevant now: When answering this question I wanted to refer the asker to a standard SO answer on why using a human...

I'm trying the method below, but it returns saying "the byte array does not contain a file name.". MimeMessage message = mailSender.create...

1st of all: I'm not programmer, neither Linux guru, just have to work with Linux, Oracle, shell scripts. My current task is to monitor a table in Oracle (tool: sqlplus), and if it contains a certain row, then watch a linux directory for a growing tmp file, and log its attributes (e.g. ls -l), in every 5 second. The most important part...
G'day all, I have an application which needs to display an ASCII file of 15 lines in a Swing component that cannot be edited by the user. Below is my code which reads the ASCII file byte by byte. My thanks to the helpful commenters who explained that a JTextArea.setEditable(false) would be appropriate in Swing. However, my code mer...
When reading files off of a hard drive, mmap is generally regarded as a good way to quickly get data into memory. When working with optical drives, accesses take more time and you have a higher latency to worry about. What approach/abstraction do you use to hide/eliminate as much latency and/or overall load time of the optical drive as p...

Is it possible to prevent a user from typing in a file input text box in IE? The reason I ask is that if a user enters text that does not look like a file system path (eg. doesn't start with something like c:...) then when the user clicks the submit button nothing will happen. I would either like to not allow the user to type in the bo...

Is it possible to make an executable look like a read-only file on Linux, such that opening the "file" for reading actually executes the file and makes its stdout available for reading as if it were data in the "file"? It should be openable by any program that knows how to open a file for reading, for example 'cat'. ...
Hi guys, I'm writing a program that writes output to a file. If this file doesn't exist, I want to create it. Currently, I'm using the following flags when calling open: O_WRONLY | O_CREATE However, when this creates the file, it doesn't give me any permissions to write to it... How can I use open so that it creates a file if it doesn...
Update: My current question is how can I get my code to read to the EOF starting from the beginning with each new search phrase. This is an assignment I am doing and currently stuck on. Mind you this is a beginner's programming class using Python. jargon = open("jargonFile.txt","r") searchPhrase = raw_input("Enter the search phrase: ")...
This is with reference to the question I asked earlier - What is the correct way to declare and use a FILE * pointer in C/C++?
