You can use the FileSystemWatcher class. public void CreateFileWatcher(string path) { // Create a new FileSystemWatcher and set its properties. FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher(); watcher.Path = path; /* Watch for changes in LastAccess and LastWrite times, and the renaming of files or directories. */ watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite | NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.DirectoryName; // … Read more

Java 7 one line solution List<String> lines = Files.readAllLines(Paths.get(“file”), StandardCharsets.UTF_8); or String text = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(“file”)), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
You need to check for the parameter being blank: if “%~1″==”” goto blank Once you’ve done that, then do an if/else switch on -b: if “%~1″==”-b” (goto specific) else goto unknown Surrounding the parameters with quotes makes checking for things like blank/empty/missing parameters easier. “~” ensures double quotes are stripped if they were on the … Read more

If file filename.tar.gz gives this message: POSIX tar archive, the archive is a tar, not a GZip archive. Unpack a tar without the z, it is for gzipped (compressed), only: mv filename.tar.gz filename.tar # optional tar xvf filename.tar Or try a generic Unpacker like unp (https://packages.qa.debian.org/u/unp.html), a script for unpacking a wide variety of archive … Read more
M-x read-only-mode in very old versions of Emacs, the command was: M-x toggle-read-only On my Windows box, that amounts to Alt-x to bring up the meta prompt and typing “read-only-mode” to call the correct elisp function.
