For example, It can be: M9S3200.1 or M9S5400.1 or M9S5400.2 Can so...

Following the bash-hackers wiki's recommendation, I want to edit files using ed. In particular I want to do the following with ed instead of sed: find . -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/a/b/g' {} \; I see that ed doesn't have opt like sed's -e, so as far as I know, pipes and io redirections are the only way to work with it non-interactivel...

I have a page that's taking ages to render out. Half of the time (3 seconds) is spent on a .find call which has a bunch of eager-loaded associations. All i actually need is the number of associated records in each case, to display in a table: i don't need the actual records themselves. Is there a way to just eager load the count? Her...

I would have thought I could use a regular expression such as \x00 to match null bytes but it doesn't work. Searching for any other hex value using this method works fine. Is this a VS bug, 'fea...

I'm doing a quite complicated find with lots of includes, which rails is splitting into a sequence of discrete queries rather than do a single big join. The queries are really slow - my dataset isn't massive, with none of the tables having more than a few thousand records. I have indexed all of the fields which are examined in the que...
Hello, I have a text file and I want to be able to change all instances of: T1M6 to N1T1M6 The T will always be a different value depending on the text file loaded. So example it could sometimes be T2M6 and that would need to be turned into N2T2M6. The N(value) must match the T(value). The M6 will always be M6. Another example:...
