Change first byte of file in Linux?

- by jnylen

How can I change the first byte of multiple files in Linux? Willing to use perl/awk/sed/whatever. Must work correctly on binary files (i.e. not change any other bytes).

e.Data.GetDataPresent not working in WinForms drag-and-drop handler?

I'm trying to drag files into my application from a program called Locate32 (which is great by the way). Here is what happens: e.Data.GetFormats() {string[7]} [0]: "FileDrop" [1]: "FileNameW" [2]: "FileName" [3]: "FileNameMap" [4]: "FileNameMapW" [5]: "Shell IDList Array" [6]: "Shell Object Offsets" DataFormats.FileDrop "FileDrop" e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) false Why does e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) return false even though FileDrop is clearly one of the formats listed as "available"? Drag and drop works fine from Windows Explorer. If I do e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop) I get a list of a bunch of filenames, as I should. Here's the code for my DragEnter handler: private void MyForm_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { if(e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop)) { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy; } else { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None; } }

Changing one byte of a file in Perl

- by jnylen

Very similar to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/845127/changing-one-byte-in-a-file-in-c, but in Perl instead of C: How can I open a binary file in Perl, change ONLY the first byte, and write it back out?

My Android ListView item layout looks terrible

- by jnylen

I wanted to create a layout like the CyanogenMod call log in that there is a list item and a call button on the left which gets focus separately (screenshot). Instead, I get this mess. Here's my code: <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="4dip" > <DontPressWithParentImageView android:id="@+id/play_icon" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="14dip" android:paddingRight="14dip" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:src="@drawable/sym_play" android:background="@drawable/play_background" /> <View android:id="@+id/divider" android:layout_width="1px" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginTop="5dip" android:layout_marginBottom="5dip" android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/play_icon" android:layout_marginLeft="2dip" android:background="@drawable/divider_vertical_dark" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/file_info" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_marginBottom="8dip" android:layout_marginTop="-10dip" android:layout_marginLeft="10dip" android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true" android:singleLine="true" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" android:textStyle="bold" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/file_title" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:layout_above="@id/file_info" android:layout_alignWithParentIfMissing="true" android:layout_marginBottom="-10dip" android:layout_marginLeft="4dip" android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" android:singleLine="true" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:gravity="center_vertical" /> </RelativeLayout> For reference, the code I started with is here and here, and the source to DontPressWithParentImageView is here (but as you can see from my screenshot, that part is working). What am I doing wrong?

Perl: realpath() without resolving links?

- by jnylen

Is there a Perl function like Cwd::realpath (a.k.a. abs_path) that does NOT resolve symbolic links? I want to resolve . and .. (and normalize slashes) in a path, but leave symbolic links alone.

Perl: remove relative path components?

- by jnylen

I need to get Perl to remove relative path components from a Linux path. I've found a couple of functions that almost do what I want, but: File::Spec->rel2abs does too little. It does not resolve ".." into a directory properly. Cwd::realpath does too much. It resolves all symbolic links in the path, which I do not want. Perhaps the best way to illustrate how I want this function to behave is to post a bash log where FixPath is a hypothetical command that gives the desired output: '/tmp/test'$ mkdir -p a/b/c1 a/b/c2 '/tmp/test'$ cd a '/tmp/test/a'$ ln -s b link '/tmp/test/a'$ ls b link '/tmp/test/a'$ cd b '/tmp/test/a/b'$ ls c1 c2 '/tmp/test/a/b'$ FixPath . # rel2abs works here ===> /tmp/test/a/b '/tmp/test/a/b'$ FixPath .. # realpath works here ===> /tmp/test/a '/tmp/test/a/b'$ FixPath c1 # rel2abs works here ===> /tmp/test/a/b/c1 '/tmp/test/a/b'$ FixPath ../b # realpath works here ===> /tmp/test/a/b '/tmp/test/a/b'$ FixPath ../link/c1 # neither one works here ===> /tmp/test/a/link/c1 '/tmp/test/a/b'$ FixPath missing # should work for nonexistent files ===> /tmp/test/a/b/missing

Odd visual issue with ListView item layout with two pressable pieces

- by jnylen

I wanted to make a ListView where the items have two pressable pieces, like the layouts that show up in a couple of places in the stock Android phone/contacts application: I have the layout working fine, including handling events from each piece separately, except for a visual issue when the smaller piece is pressed. In my application the smaller piece only gets a small ellipse for the background when it is pressed, like this: Note that is actually not my application - that is NubDial, but my application has the same problem. Since NubDial uses the exact same XML layout as the phone app, I'm not sure how relevant the list item layouts are, but here they are anyway: Contacts list: contacts_list_item.xml NubDial: contacts_list_item.xml Does anybody know what might be happening there?
