Here's a barebones Python app that simply prints the command-line arguments passed in: import sys if __name__ == "__main__": print "Arguments:" for i in range(len(sys.argv)): print "[%s] = %s" % (i, sys.argv[i]) And here's some sample runs: python args.py hello world Arguments: [0] = args.py [1] = hello [2] = world p...

Just converting some shell scripts into batch files and there is one thing I can't seem to find...and that is a simple count of the number of command line arguments. eg. if you have: myapp foo bar In Shell: $# -> 2 $* -> foo bar $0 -> myapp $1 -> foo $2 -> bar In batch ?? -> 2 <---- what command?! %* -> foo bar %0 -> myapp %1...
I have a bash script that uses getopt to parse its parameters. It correctly handles switches and long options, as well as arguments and quoted arguments, but I cannot figure out how to iterate over the options/arguments string returned by the backticks. Something like: params=`getopt -o ab -l ccc -- "$@"` echo $params for param in "$pa...
Hi I am trying to develop a command button that would appear on windows explorer. I can do this for an NSE but what I want to do is make the button visible on every explorer window. I want it to work for windows 7 and vista. I know it is possible as I have seen office Groove do it, and I am not sure if I have to implement the IExplorer(...
In a post's answer on superuser.com, we see that join <(sort abc) <(sort bcd) will sort files abc and bcd before sending them to join. This leads to a programming question, better suited for stackoverflow. How does this work? What exactly is this <() construct? What's it called? If (sort abc) is a legal call that runs sort on abc ...

This may sound strange, but I need a better way to build python scripts than opening a file with nano/vi, change something, quit the editor, and type in python script.py, over and over again. I need to build the script on a webserver without any gui. Any ideas how can I improve my workflow? ...
I'm confused by some behavior of my Mac OS X Terminal and my Django manage.py shell and pdb. When I start a new terminal, the Standard Input is displayed as I type. However, if there is an error, suddenly Standard Input does not appear on the screen. This error continues until I shut down that terminal window. The Input is still being ...
Are there any ways in OS X to clone the permissions of one folder to another. Just to be clear, I don't want to copy the entire folder, just the permissions and then set them on another folder. I think this type of thing could be achieved on Linux/UNIX using the setfacl/getfacl commands, but I'm unsure on how to do this with OS X. Thank...
What I'm looking for is something like: if [ -f "filenam*" ]; then ... fi But the wildcard (*) causes problems. I've also tried: if [ `ls filenam* > /dev/null 2>&1` ]; then ... fi Which may work in other shells but doesn't appear to work in Bourne shell (sh). Thanks for any help! EDIT: Sorry, not C shell, Bourne shell (s...
While the build of 1.8.7 I have seems to have a backported version of Shellwords::shellescape, I know that method is a 1.9 feature and definitely isn't supported in earlier versions of 1.8.

Can I embed the following bash shell code: for name in $(git diff --name-only $1); do git difftool $1 $name & done directly into the creation of a git alias: git config --global alias.diffall ***my-bash-code-here*** This leads on from my previous question/answer on SO, where I put the code into a .sh file and then aliased to the f...

I'm currently working on a Debian package for an in-house program. As part of this package, I need to create the user which most of the functionality of the program runs as. I am doing this in the postinst script. The postinst script can be run several times (on upgrade, for example), so it's important to ensure that I'm not going to ...
