Hello all, I have a shell script that saves the output of a command that is executed to a CSV file. It reads the command it has to execute from a shell script which is in this format: ffmpeg -i /home/test/videos/avi/418kb.avi /home/test/videos/done/418kb.flv ffmpeg -i /home/test/videos/avi/1253kb.avi /home/test/videos/done/1253kb.flv f...
On windows, I'm trying to acquire the file name using the %~f1 parameter. I'm doing this from a new voice (command) which I've added to the contextual menu. In the windows registry, the voice simply calls a batch script which prints the file name, by this way: `C:\script.bat %~f1` but I get this output: `C:\Documents and Setting...

Can anyone think of a way (perhaps using a PowerShell script or similar) where I can look for *.cs files that are on disk in the folder structure, but aren't included in a project file? This has come about gradually over time with merging in Subversion etc. I'm looking for a way to clean up after myself, basically. :) ...
How would I go about replacing all of the double quotes in my batch file's parameters with escaped double quotes? This is my current batch file, which expands all of its command line parameters inside the string: @echo off call bash --verbose -c "g++-linux-4.1 %*" It then uses that string to make a call to Cygwin's bash, executing a L...
At my workplace, we have lab machines that we use to do our testing. The standard procedure to reserve a machine for testing was to walk around the office to make sure that no one was using the machine. This is highly inefficient and time consuming. At first, I set up a web page where people could reserve the lab machine but nobody...
I want to be able to connect to a (wifi) network hard drive from my laptop, but only occasionally. If I use the "Map a network drive" command in WinXP explorer, I have to put in the drive's IP address and name, then the router name and its password. Too much to remember! I'm looking for a way of scripting this activity (in any language)...
I have a legacy CVS repository which shall be migrated to Perforce. For each module, I need to identify what branches exist in that module. I just want a list of branch names, no tags. It must be a command line tool, for scripting reasons. For example (assuming there is a cvs-list-branches.sh script): $ ./cvs-list-branches.sh module1...

I am trying to move certain lines from one .txt file to another. These lines all follow a certain pattern. I have been looking at using the find command in a batch file, but this does not delete the line from the original file. For example: find \i pattern "d:\example1.txt" >> "d:\example2.txt" Is there any way to achieve this? Th...
I want to run perl -w using env. That works fine on the command line: $ /bin/env perl -we 'print "Hello, world!\n"' Hello, world! But it doesn't work on the shebang line in a script: #!/bin/env perl -w print "Hello, world!\n"; Here is the error: /bin/env: perl -w: No such file or directory Apparently env doesn't understand the -...
We have a huge (old legacy java) code-base, where many files (around 5k) have System.out.println's. We are planning to remove them for cleanup/performance reasons. How can we write a script that will replace them without introducing any issues in the code? The script cannot blindly delete them as following case can be an issue: if () ...
Browsers, like Elinks, support scripting. Where do you need it? [Clarification] I meant where users need to do their own scripts. It must do something with data manipulation and extraction. Can scripts help me to become faster? ...
Is there a method where by one can read just the first record of a file; i.e to read header information, so that a decision can be made whther or not to process the remainder of the file ? I know that with the split transformation component one can write an expression that will ignore all of the rows besides the header, based on a key wo...
Preferably I'd like to do so with some bash shell scripting, maybe some PHP or PERL and a MySQL db. Thoughts? ...

So, some suggestions on "head start lua"-pages? EDIT As an addition to the wonderful tutorial pages, could you plaese suggest any "programs" I could make that wil...
For example, in javascript I can say var x = 5; Later I can do x = 'a'; and then x = "hello"; So, how is memory allocated for the variables? As it is, all variables have a common type 'var' and values of variables can change at run-time as seen above. Isn't it a difficult task to allocate and manage memory for these variables?...
