Wow, another gotcha with putting Windows files paths in slashy strings. Nice catch. The gotcha I’ve encountered before was including a trailing backslash on the path, e.g. /C:\path\/, which results in an unexpected char: 0xFFFF error. Anyways, for the sake of an answer, given that Windows paths are case insensitive, why not exploit it for … Read more
Well, I was browsing for some syntax and stumbled upon this page. I know its old but I thought I’d take a break and give the brain a little kick. Here’s something a little shorter and manageable. This just “brute forces” all uppercase letters to lowercase letters without regards to whether the actual letter exists … Read more
A simple script I wrote some days ago… # FILE : sctrace.sh # LICENSE : GPL v2.0 (only) # PURPOSE : print the recursive callers’ list for a script # (sort of a process backtrace) # USAGE : [in a script] source sctrace.sh # # TESTED ON : # – Linux, x86 32-bit, Bash 3.2.39(1)-release … Read more
The man page of rm says: -r, -R, –recursive remove directories and their contents recursively This means the flag -r is expecting a directory. But *.xml is not a directory. If you want to remove the all .xml files from current directory recursively below is the command: find . -name “*.xml” -type f|xargs rm -f
Personally I use exit. The normal exit command simply terminates the current script, and the parent (for example if you were running a script from command line, or calling it from another batch file) exit /b is used to terminate the current script, but leaves the parent window/script/calling label open. With exit, you can also … Read more
This script, not written by me, pretty prints STL containers, such as vector, map, etc: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/src/dbinit_stl_views-1.03.txt Totally awesome.
In terms of Node.js, I can’t see it becoming a mainstream way of using javascript as a general purpose scripting language. The main reason for that would be the async nature of 99% of the libraries and functions available in Node.js. Because of the async nature, you have to completely change your thinking. Not having … Read more
You have two choices here — the first is the way you did it — simply add the appropriate markup into a template (or a block if you want to be able to override it in templates which extend your first template.) The second way is to use Jinja2’s include function: {% block javascript %} … Read more
The easiest way is to download https://packagecontrol.io/Package%20Control.sublime-package using wget or curl, and store it in ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Installed Packages. It will then set itself up upon first starting the editor. As a bonus, if you create ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User/Package Control.sublime-settings and populate it with the packages you want installed, everything should work more-or-less automatically to download and install everything. … Read more
Since the suid bit on executables only changes the effective UID (EUID) the executable will run as, and not the real UID (RUID) which getuid() returns, and in addition to the restriction on suid interpreted scripts (any executable beginning with “#!“), some shells like bash as an extra safety measure will set the EUID back … Read more
