Hi, O/S = Fedora Code 9. I have a number of files hiding in my LANG=en_US:UTF-8 filesystem that have been uploaded with unrecognisable characters in their filename. I need to search the filesystem and return all filenames that have at least one character that is not in the standard range (a-zA-Z0-9 and .-_ etc.) I have been trying t...
I've been trying to replicate Gnu Find ("find .") in PHP, but it seems impossible to get even close to its speed. The PHP implementations use at least twice the time of Find. Are there faster ways of doing this with PHP? EDIT: I added a code example using the SPL implementation -- its performance is equal to the iterative approach ED...

cp -v -ur path/to/jsps/ /dest/path/ The above command copies all of the files that have been updated from the source directory to the destination, preserving the directory structure. What I can't figure out is how to copy only *.someExtention files. I know that you can use something like: find -f -name *.jsp -exec some awesome comman...
I have a list of 'request' objects, each of which has fairly normal activerecord qualities. The requests table is related to the games table with a join table, 'games_requests,' so that a request has a request.games array. The question is, is there a way to do a find for the last n unique requests, where uniqueness is defined by the ga...
I'm trying to remove all the .svn directories from a working directory. I thought I would just use find and rm like this: find . -iname .svn -exec 'rm -rf {}' \; But the result is: find: rm -rf ./src/.svn: No such file or directory Obviously the file exists, or find wouldn't find it... What am I missing? ...
The find command seems to differ from other Unix commands. Why is there the empty curly brackets and a backward flash at the end of the following command? find * -perm 777 -exec chmod 770 {} \; I found one reason for the curly brackets but not for the backward flash. The curly brackets are apparently for the path Same as -exec,...
Is there a way of searching a list for more that one consecutive values? I've looking at Find and IndexOf but Find uses Predicates that only use the current value and IndexOf only takes byte parameters. I can code my own solution but I want to be sure that there isn't a solution already available to this common problem. Thanks in advan...

Is there a reason why passing a reference to a STL map as const causes the [] operator to break? I get this compiler error (gcc 4.2) when I use const: error: no match for ‘operator[]’ in ‘map[name]’ Here's the function prototype: void func(const char ch, std::string &str, const std::map<std::string, std::string> &map); And, I ...

But why I get such error: awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `|' for reading (No such fi...
I have a list of possible values: @a = qw(foo bar baz); How do I check in a concise way that a value $val is present or absent in @a?

I have not found a reason why Mac's find does not have the option -printf. Apple normally decides to take options out which are not orthogonal to the other commands? How can you reach the same result as the following command in Mac without coreutils? find . -printf "%i \n" // command in Ubuntu ...
