Hi, I have several files containing this line Release: X I want to increment X in all the files. If X was constant between the files, I could have a bash script looping around the files and doing ($1 containing the former release number and $2 the new one, ie. $1 + 1) : sed 's/Release: '$1'/Release: '$2'/' <$file >$file.new Now,...
I was looking into scripting to be incorporated into my apps. Then I bumped into Script.Net and Nemerle. I do know that they have different syntax and Nemerle supports macro but not Script.Net. But I would like to know more about their differences in terms of functionality, usage and flexibility. And which one would you recommend, why? ...

At my workplace I'm stuck with Visual Basic 6, but after reading the answer to "How do I sort arrays using vbscript?" I got my hopes up, that at least some of the missing VB6 features can be supplemented by .NET features. (Different kinds of collections, mostly) It seems, that at least some .NET classes are available for scripting and ...
mysqldump is probably not the best idea on running backups every x hours but is the one that we are currently using. The backups are around 150 Megs each so sending it to other machines could waste many gigs of bandwidth. Is there any tool or application or script that could automate the creation of the backup and the upload to s3 am...
The application that I am working on generates files dynamically with use. This makes backup and syncronization between staging,development and production a real big challenge. One way that we might get smooth solution (if feasable) is to have a script that at the moment of backing up the database can backup the dynamically generated f...
Our dev team is looking for an IDE like vi or nano or even textpad for windows that has the capability to autocomplete and error correction for bash or shell script for linux. Basically something similar to .NET autocompletion where you will be able to see if an if[ $# -ne 5 ]; then has no space between the 5 and the ] will tell yo...
I'm compiling some C# and VB code at run time using the CodeDomProvider, CompilerInfo, and CompilerParameters. It works great, and I really like being able to add scripting support to my application, but it only seems to support .NET 2.0 syntax. For example, the var keyword isn't supported in C#, and the If(bool, string, string) expressi...
Suppose you have a file that contains IP addresses, one address in each line: 10.0.10.1 10.0.10.1 10.0.10.3 10.0.10.2 10.0.10.1 You need a shell script that counts for each IP address how many times it appears in the file. For the previous input you need the following output: 10.0.10.1 3 10.0.10.2 1 10.0.10.3 1 One way to do this i...

I have a file with 450,000+ rows of entries. Each entry is about 7 characters in length. What I want to know is the unique characters of this file. For instance, if my file were the following; Entry ----- Yabba Dabba Doo Then the result would be Unique characters: {abdoy} Notice I don't care about case and don't need to order...
Question: How could I find out the M-x equivalent commands for doing GUI-based operations in Emacs, in those cases where my Emacs-variant uses OS-specific desktop functionality? Background: Conventional understanding states that everything in Emacs is a command, and that commands can be invoked via M-x, as long as you know the name of t...
For whatever reason, I have a lot of clients that have existing data that's stored in spreadsheets. Often there are hundreds, if not thousands of items in each spreadsheet, and asking the client to manually enter them through a website (or heaven forbid importing them that way myself) is out of the question. Typically, this data doesn't ...
The (command line) interface I have in mind is like so: watching FILE+ do COMMAND [ARGS] (and COMMAND [ARGS])* Where any occurrence of "{}" in COMMAND is replaced with the name of the file that changed. And note that "do" and "and" are keywords. For example: > watching foo.txt bar.txt do scp {} somewhere.com:. and echo moved {} to ...
I often need to copy, move or rename files and directories based on some criteria as I collect data from many resources and I like to keep things organized. What scripting language provides the most intuitive and easy to use methods for these operations? Here is an example scenario: I keep my music in a folder hierarchy like below: &Ar...
I'd like to include Python scripting in one of my applications, that is written in Python itself. My application must be able to call external Python functions (written by the user) as callbacks. There must be some control on code execution; for example, if the user provided code with syntax errors, the application must signal that. ...
In an HTML file on My Computer, I'm trying to use the Scripting.FileSystemObject in a script. How can I disable the popup saying "Any ActiveX control on this page may be unsafe for scripting"?

I own a website which contain a lot of freeware stuff to download on it. The problem I'm facing is that people from around the world are taking the direct links of the files (for example .zip files) and posting them on their websites and general forums. I am getting a huge amount of bandwidth and that's ok, but the number of pages visi...
