For example: ls | grep foo | applycommand 'mv %s bar/' Where this would take everything matching "foo" and move it to the bar/ directory. (I feel a bit embarrassed askin...
I've tried the obvious path in my pet open source project RevitPythonShell (a plugin for the building modeling software Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010): code.interact() with the IronPython engine set up to use .NET streams for STDIN and STDOUT.

I'm trying to figure out what is more efficient in terms of server load which is pretty big at the moment, additional overload wouldn't be a great idea. Here is what I need to do : I have a log file which changes, sometimes every second other times every few minutes or so which is not really relevant to this question. I'm trying to find...

Is there a standard set of return code for Window shell scripts (*.bat files)? I'm looking for something analogous to Linux exit codes, where 0==success and non-zero==failure. I need a way to programmatically check if my shell script failed during execution. ...

Earlier I thought that it was not possible but then, I came across the StickyNotes federated search connector. The c...

I am writing a makefile. However except for the path expansion and restrictions on what I can do, this is basically a shell scripting question. As part of the make process, I want to copy a directory to the destination. My source directory and destination directory are variables, so I can't assume a lot about them. They may be fully qual...
