I'm trying to detect when a new file is created a directory or when an existing file is modified in a directory. I tried searching for a script that would do this (preferably in python or bash) but came up short.

I am trying to delete 10000+ files at once, atomically e.g. either all need to be deleted at once, or all need to stay in place. Of course, the obvious answer is to move all the files into a temporary directory, and delete it recursively on success, but that doubles the amount of I/O required. Compression doesn't work, because 1) I don...
I'm trying to make emacs' delete-file function delete files with exclamation marks in their names. The particular use case is that I have set emacs to save all backup files in a single directory and to delete old backup files. However, when all backup files are placed in one directory, the directory separator / is replaced with !. When ...
What are the best practices for dealing with binaries in domain model? I frequently must associate images and other files with business objects and the simple byte[] is not adequate even for the simplest of cases. The files: Does not have a fixed size and can be quite large thus: Have to be streamed or buffered, preferably in asynchr...
I am looking for a simple way to read/write a file asynchronously using Win API. What I had is mind is something like the asynchronous winsock API (WSAxxx) completion routines. However the file API doesn't seem to have those. Are they hidden somewhere? Waiting on the overlapped events in a seperate thread adds thread management overhead...

Delphi 2010 has a nice set of new file access functions in IOUtils.pas (I especially like the UTC versions of the date-related functions). What I miss so far is something like TFile.GetSize (const Path : String) What is the Delphi 2010-way to get the size of a file? Do I have to go back and use FindFirst to access TSearchRec.FindData?...
I have a problem with the zsh tab completion: After running: autoload -U compinit compinit Git tab completion for files does not work any more. For example if I type git add my_f to complete my_file, nothing happens. The zsh git completion only seems to work for git branches and tags. Without the compinit stuff, git file completion wo...
Hi, I'm developing a PHP script to send the content of a file from one script to another. In PHP usually it's used the $_FILE array that contains any uploaded file submitted in a form. But I didn't needed a form so I came up with something a little different: // pseudo function names ahead $content = file_get_contents(FILE_TO_SEND); s...
I'm getting started with ASP.NET MVC, but would like to explore further. I've walked through the usual "hello, world" examples, and now I'd like to try something a little more complex. Specifically, I want to be able to: upload some XML file, do some simple processing on it, and then allow the user to download a new file with the resul...
I'm writing a backup script I intend to execute in a cronjob every night. The script sets sys.stdout and sys.stderr to an output file to keep a log of what happens. To do the backup I use the following code cmd = 'rsync -av --del --stats --filter "- .thumbnails/" ' + \ '--filter "- *~" --filter "- *.iso" --filter "- lost+found/" ...
I'm working on a huge legacy Java application, with a lot of handwritten stuff, which nowadays you'd let a framework handle. The problem I'm facing right now is that we are running out of file handles on our Solaris Server. I'd like to know what's the best way to track open file handles? Where to look at and what can cause open file ha...
I would like to read a text file and input its contents into an array. Then I would like to show the contents of the array in the command line. My idea is to open the file using: inFile.open("pigData.txt") And then to get the contents of the file using: inFile >> myarray [size] And then show the contents using a for loop. My prob...

I'm trying to learn how to parse .txt files in Python. This has led me to opening the interpreter (terminal > python) and playing around. However, I can't seem to be able to specify the right path. Where does Python first look? This is my first step: f = open("/Desktop/temp/myfile.txt","file1") This blatantly doesn't work. Can an...
This could be language agnostic/helpful answers could just be in pseudo-code. I have a program that I would like to test under a range of inputs. This program takes a set of files, one of which is designated as the root. I want to run the program with all possible subsets of files. (Two subsets, containing the same files, but with diffe...
I'm moving some old C code that generates a binary file into our C# system. The problem is, the resulting binary file will still need to be read by another old C program. The original code outputs several structs to a binary file, and many of those structs contain linked lists, with *next pointers. How can I write these in C# so that ...
