Parsing getopts in bash

- by ABach

I've got a bash function that I'm trying to use getopts with and am having some trouble. The function is designed to be called by itself (getch), with an optional -s flag (getch -s), or with an optional string argument afterward (so getch master and getch -s master are both valid). The snippet below is where my problem lies - it isn't the entire function, but it's what I'm focusing on: getch() { if [ "$#" -gt 2 ] || [ "$1" = "-h" ] || [ "$1" = "--help" ]; then echo "Usage: $0 [-s] [branch-name]" >&2 return 1 fi while getopts "s" opt; do echo $opt # This line is here to test how many times we go through the loop case $opt in s) squash=true shift ;; *) ;; esac done } The getch -s master case is where the strangeness happens. The above should spit out s once, but instead, I get this: [user@host:git-repositories/temp]$ getch -s master s s [user@host:git-repositories/temp]$ Why is it parsing the -s opt twice?

How to use a separate class to validate credit card numbers in C#

- by EvanRyan

I have set up a class to validate credit card numbers. The credit card type and number are selected on a form in a separate class. I'm trying to figure out how to get the credit card type and number that are selected in the other class (frmPayment) in to my credit card class algorithm: public enum CardType { MasterCard, Visa, AmericanExpress } public sealed class CardValidator { public static string SelectedCardType { get; private set; } public static string CardNumber { get; private set; } private CardValidator(string selectedCardType, string cardNumber) { SelectedCardType = selectedCardType; CardNumber = cardNumber; } public static bool Validate(CardType cardType, string cardNumber) { byte[] number = new byte[16]; int length = 0; for (int i = 0; i < cardNumber.Length; i++) { if (char.IsDigit(cardNumber, i)) { if (length == 16) return false; number[length++] = byte.Parse(cardNumber[i]); //not working. find different way to parse } } switch(cardType) { case CardType.MasterCard: if(length != 16) return false; if(number[0] != 5 || number[1] == 0 || number[1] > 5) return false; break; case CardType.Visa: if(length != 16 & length != 13) return false; if(number[0] != 4) return false; break; case CardType.AmericanExpress: if(length != 15) return false; if(number[0] != 3 || (number[1] != 4 & number[1] != 7)) return false; break; } // Use Luhn Algorithm to validate int sum = 0; for(int i = length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { if(i % 2 == length % 2) { int n = number[i] * 2; sum += (n / 10) + (n % 10); } else sum += number[i]; } return (sum % 10 == 0); } }

How to handle redirection in an Ajax based application

- by nimo

hi all, I'm developing a Ajax based php application. As anybody knows, I'm checking whether user is logged in every php file as the first statement. And there are two ways that I should response in an event of logging failure, server redirect to the login page using header(url). CASE: If user directly enter a particular URL passing url in Ajax response asking client side page redirection or notification CASE: If user trying to perform some action through a Ajax request So my question is how can identify whether request coming from client side is a Ajax call or not ? If I know that I can handle my response accordingly. OR Is there a better way of handling above scenario ? Thank You

Find Methods in a c# File programmatically

- by sajad

Hi Friends, I want to write a code to search for method defination and methods called in a c# file. So obviously my pattern should search for text like 1.public void xyz(blahtype blahvalue); 2.string construct = SearchData(blahvalue); Has anyone done similar to this, is Regex helpful in this case. if yes provide me the pattern. Any other workarounds. I dont know reflection(will it help in my case) Thanks, you guys gave it a try, i did not know this wud be so complex. All i wanted to do was suppose i have method like this public method1(int val) { method2(); method3(); } void method2(int val2) { method4() } i wanted to construct a string as Method1:Method2:method4 and Method1:Method3.... I guess its really complex

android set hidden the keybord on press enter (in a EditText)

Hi, When my user press "ENTER" on the virtual android "user validate entry!" keybord my keybord stay visible ! (Why?) Here my Java code... private void initTextField() { entryUser = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.studentEntrySalary); entryUser.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() { public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) { if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) { switch (keyCode) { case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER: case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER: userValidateEntry(); return true; } } return true; } }); } private void userValidateEntry() { System.out.println("user validate entry!"); } ... here my View <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"> <EditText android:id="@+id/studentEntrySalary" android:text="Foo" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout> Maybe something wrong on my virtual device ?

Checked equivalent to IllegalArgumentException?

- by jv1975oid

I have a method that takes an enum as a parameter and returns some information dependent on that parameter. However, that enum contains some values which should not be handled, and should raise an error condition. Currently the method throws an IllegalArgumentException but I would like this to be a checked exception to force callers to catch it (and return gracefully, logging an error). Is there something suitable or should I create my own Exception subclass? I'm open to other patterns as well. A reasonable reaction would be that all values of the enum should be handled, but that isn't the case. When a new value is added to the enum, I want to make sure that this method does the right thing - alerting a human is preferable to using some default return value in this case. Thanks for any advice.

Who calls the Destructor of the class when operator delete is used in multiple inheritance.

- by dicaprio-leonard

This question may sound too silly, however , I don't find concrete answer any where else. With little knowledge on how late binding works and virtual keyword used in inheritance. As in the code sample, when in case of inheritance where a base class pointer pointing to a derived class object created on heap and delete operator is used to deallocate the memory , the destructor of the of the derived and base will be called in order only when the base destructor is declared virtual function. Now my question is : 1) When the destructor of base is not virtual, why the problem of not calling derived dtor occur only when in case of using "delete" operator , why not in the case given below: derived drvd; base *bPtr; bPtr = &drvd; //DTOR called in proper order when goes out of scope. 2) When "delete" operator is used, who is reponsible to call the destructor of the class? The operator delete will have an implementation to call the DTOR ? or complier writes some extra stuff ? If the operator has the implementation then how does it looks like , [I need sample code how this would have been implemented]. 3) If virtual keyword is used in this example, how does operator delete now know which DTOR to call? Fundamentaly i want to know who calls the dtor of the class when delete is used. Sample Code class base { public: base() { cout<<"Base CTOR called"<<endl; } virtual ~base() { cout<<"Base DTOR called"<<endl; } }; class derived:public base { public: derived() { cout<<"Derived CTOR called"<<endl; } ~derived() { cout<<"Derived DTOR called"<<endl; } }; I'm not sure if this is a duplicate, I couldn't find in search. int main() { base *bPtr = new derived(); delete bPtr;// only when you explicitly try to delete an object return 0; }

Codeigniter multi language url

- by Thang Bui

Please help me. I search 2 hours but do not see any solutions for my case. My customer request me the multi language but they want the link as: http://site.com/controller_name/lang_code Or http://site.com/controller_name/paramenter1/parameter2/lang_code The language code is always at the last segment. It is stored in the session. The url maybe also http://site.com/controller_name/ Or http://site.com/controller_name/paramenter1/parameter2/ In this case. The language stored in session will be loaded, but the url don't need to display it. I try i18n library, but it cannnot solve my problem. Can anyone help me

How can I specify my own Rhino context in Java?

- by Dan Howard

I'm trying to ensure that my Rhino scripts (running under Java 6) are strict so that if a script developer misspells an expression I want an exception to be thrown. Currently what happens is the expression simply evaluates to "undefined". Now according to Mozilla org https://developer.mozilla.org/en/New_in_Rhino_1.6R6 there are features to enable strict checking in the context. I cannot find a working example of this. What I did so far was write a class to extend ContextFactory and then override the hasFeature method. public class ScriptContextFactory extends ContextFactory { protected boolean hasFeature(Context context, int featureIndex) { switch (featureIndex) { case Context.FEATURE_STRICT_EVAL: return true; case Context.FEATURE_STRICT_VARS: return true; } return super.hasFeature(context, featureIndex); } } Then in the Main I set mine to the default. ContextFactory.initGlobal(new ScriptContextFactory()); and I get an illegal state exception. :( Any ideas or samples on how this works? TIA

How to use a variable to specify filegroup in MSSQL

- by gt

I want to alter a table to add a constraint during upgrade on a MSSQL database. This table is normally indexed on a filegroup called 'MY_INDEX' - but may also be on a database without this filegroup. In this case I want the indexing to be done on the 'PRIMARY' filegroup. I tried the following code to achieve this: DECLARE @fgName AS VARCHAR(10) SET @fgName = CASE WHEN EXISTS(SELECT groupname FROM sysfilegroups WHERE groupname = 'MY_INDEX') THEN QUOTENAME('MY_INDEX') ELSE QUOTENAME('PRIMARY') END ALTER TABLE [dbo].[mytable] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_mytable] PRIMARY KEY ( [myGuid] ASC ) ON @fgName -- fails: 'incorrect syntax' However, the last line fails as it appears a filegroup cannot be specified by variable. Is this possible?

Code golf - hex to (raw) binary conversion

- by Alnitak

In response to this question asking about hex to (raw) binary conversion, a comment suggested that it could be solved in "5-10 lines of C, or any other language." I'm sure that for (some) scripting languages that could be achieved, and would like to see how. Can we prove that comment true, for C, too? NB: this doesn't mean hex to ASCII binary - specifically the output should be a raw octet stream corresponding to the input ASCII hex. Also, the input parser should skip/ignore white space. edit (by Brian Campbell) May I propose the following rules, for consistency? Feel free to edit or delete these if you don't think these are helpful, but I think that since there has been some discussion of how certain cases should work, some clarification would be helpful. The program must read from stdin and write to stdout (we could also allow reading from and writing to files passed in on the command line, but I can't imagine that would be shorter in any language than stdin and stdout) The program must use only packages included with your base, standard language distribution. In the case of C/C++, this means their respective standard libraries, and not POSIX. The program must compile or run without any special options passed to the compiler or interpreter (so, 'gcc myprog.c' or 'python myprog.py' or 'ruby myprog.rb' are OK, while 'ruby -rscanf myprog.rb' is not allowed; requiring/importing modules counts against your character count). The program should read integer bytes represented by pairs of adjacent hexadecimal digits (upper, lower, or mixed case), optionally separated by whitespace, and write the corresponding bytes to output. Each pair of hexadecimal digits is written with most significant nibble first. The behavior of the program on invalid input (characters besides [a-fA-F \t\r\n], spaces separating the two characters in an individual byte, an odd number of hex digits in the input) is undefined; any behavior (other than actively damaging the user's computer or something) on bad input is acceptable (throwing an error, stopping output, ignoring bad characters, treating a single character as the value of one byte, are all OK) The program may write no additional bytes to output. Code is scored by fewest total bytes in the source file. (Or, if we wanted to be more true to the original challenge, the score would be based on lowest number of lines of code; I would impose an 80 character limit per line in that case, since otherwise you'd get a bunch of ties for 1 line).

Best way to test for a variable's existence in PHP; isset() is clearly broken

- by chazomaticus

From the isset() docs: isset() will return FALSE if testing a variable that has been set to NULL. Basically, isset() doesn't check for whether the variable is set at all, but whether it's set to anything but NULL. Given that, what's the best way to actually check for the existence of a variable? I tried something like: if(isset($v) || @is_null($v)) (the @ is necessary to avoid the warning when $v is not set) but is_null() has a similar problem to isset(): it returns TRUE on unset variables! It also appears that: @($v === NULL) works exactly like @is_null($v), so that's out, too. How are we supposed to reliably check for the existence of a variable in PHP? Edit: there is clearly a difference in PHP between variables that are not set, and variables that are set to NULL: <?php $a = array('b' => NULL); var_dump($a); PHP shows that $a['b'] exists, and has a NULL value. If you add: var_dump(isset($a['b'])); var_dump(isset($a['c'])); you can see the ambiguity I'm talking about with the isset() function. Here's the output of all three of these var_dump()s: array(1) { ["b"]=> NULL } bool(false) bool(false) Further edit: two things. One, a use case. An array being turned into the data of an SQL UPDATE statement, where the array's keys are the table's columns, and the array's values are the values to be applied to each column. Any of the table's columns can hold a NULL value, signified by passing a NULL value in the array. You need a way to differentiate between an array key not existing, and an array's value being set to NULL; that's the difference between not updating the column's value and updating the column's value to NULL. Second, Zoredache's answer, array_key_exists() works correctly, for my above use case and for any global variables: <?php $a = NULL; var_dump(array_key_exists('a', $GLOBALS)); var_dump(array_key_exists('b', $GLOBALS)); outputs: bool(true) bool(false) Since that properly handles just about everywhere I can see there being any ambiguity between variables that don't exist and variables that are set to NULL, I'm calling array_key_exists() the official easiest way in PHP to truly check for the existence of a variable. (Only other case I can think of is for class properties, for which there's property_exists(), which, according to its docs, works similarly to array_key_exists() in that it properly distinguishes between not being set and being set to NULL.)

overwrite a file which is already used by another process

- by Ahmy

I have a web site and i am showing videos to visitors, at the admin side i am filling the form of video and upload video file and sometimes i need to change(update) the video so i update the video by uploading another one, when i create the video in the first time i concatenate a datetime variable with the video name to avoid repeatition(file already exist) and when updatting the video the problem appears.... as if i upload the new video with the previous name so it will replace the previous one and in this case if the video is used by another process it will fail and the second option(which i am already using) is to upload a new video and concatenating new datetime variable with video title, so the previous and the new video will exist in the same directory and in this case i will lose too much space in my server directory as i have unused videos which takes space which in future will cause problem to me in the disk space so how can i solve this problem ? Hope that my question is clear....thanks in advance for any try

Javascript: Can't control parent of descendant nodes.

I'm creating elements (level 1) dynamically which in turn create elements (level 2) themselves. However, the children of level 2 elements have "body" as their parent. In the HTML code below, the content if spotAd2 is created by my function createNode(). It's a Google Ad Sense tag. However, the Google Ad Sense tag create elements that went directly under "body". I need them to by under spotAd2. function createNode( t, // type. tn, // if type is element, tag name. a, // if type is element, attributes. v, // node value or text content p, // parent f ) // whether to make dist the first child or not. { n = null; switch( t ) { case "element": n = document.createElement( tn ); if( a ) { for( k in a ) { n.setAttribute( k, a[ k ] ); } } break; case "text": case "cdata_section": case "comment": n = document.createTextNode(v); break; } if ( p ) { if( f ) { p.insertBefore( n, p.firstChild ); } else { p.appendChild( n ); } } return n; } spotAd2 = document.getElementById("spotAd2"); n1 = createNode("element", "div", {"id":"tnDiv1"}, "\n" , null, true); n2 = createNode("element", "script", {"type":"text\/javascript"}, "\n" , n1, false); n3 = createNode("comment", "", null, "\n" + "google_ad_client = \"pub-0321943928525350\";\n" + "/* 728x90 (main top) */\n" + "google_ad_slot = \"2783893649\";\n" + "google_ad_width = 728;\n" + "google_ad_height = 90;\n" + "//\n" , n2, false); n4 = createNode("element", "script", {"type":"text\/javascript","src":"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js"}, "\n" , n1, false); --- Result: <body> <table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="1"> <tbody><tr> <td>Oel ngati kemeie</td> <td>Kamakto niwin</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The ad:</td> <td> <div id="spotAd2">  <div id="tnDiv1"> <script type="text/javascript"> google_ad_client = "pub-0321943928525350"; /* 728x90 (main top) */ google_ad_slot = "2783893649"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div>  </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>txopu ra'a tsi, tsamsiyu</td> <td>teyrakup skxawng</td> </tr> </tbody></table>  <script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/expansion_embed.js"></script> <script src="http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/test_domain.js"></script> <script>google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);</script> <ins style="border: medium none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; display: inline-table; height: 90px; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 728px;"> <ins style="border: medium none ; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; display: block; height: 90px; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 728px;"> <iframe width="728" scrolling="no" height="90" frameborder="0" vspace="0" style="left: 0pt; position: absolute; top: 0pt;" src="http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-0321943928525350&output=html&h=90&slotname=2783893649&w=728&lmt=1273708979&flash=10.0.45&url=http%3A%2F%2Fkenshin.katanatechworks.com%2Ftest%2FadsBrowserSide.php&dt=1273708980294&shv=r20100422&correlator=1273708980298&frm=0&ga_vid=695691836.1273708981&ga_sid=1273708981&ga_hid=1961182006&ga_fc=0&u_tz=480&u_his=2&u_java=1&u_h=1080&u_w=1920&u_ah=1052&u_aw=1920&u_cd=24&u_nplug=5&u_nmime=38&biw=1394&bih=324&fu=0&ifi=1&dtd=955&xpc=Jl67G4xiq6&p=http%3A//kenshin.katanatechworks.com" name="google_ads_frame" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" id="google_ads_frame1" hspace="0" allowtransparency="true"> </iframe> </ins> </ins>  </body>

ruby block and returning something from block

To me both the code are doing same thing. Yes in the first case I am passing a proc and in the second case I am passing a block. But &block converts that block into proc. So proc.call should behave same. And yes I have seen this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2325471/using-return-in-a-ruby-block

counting number of new entries in guest book

- by Lucka

I want to display the number of new(unseen) guest entries in the guest book of a user. I was thinking to count it so that, total number of entries in guestbook minus entries in guestbook at time of last login. However, I think that is not a good approach, because if the user logs in but does not go to his guestbook, in that case, the entries should be still "new", also if some new entry is posted in the user while he is online, it does not work in that case too. Any suggested please?

Rewrite content served by apache

- by Andy

Hi guys, I have an internal app (Jira) that i want to use internally and externally, now there might be another way of doing this in which case i'm open to it, but this is what i have so far: URL one: https://domainname.com/jira - external domain name for it URL two: https://domainname.local/jira - internal network name for it. I am running Apache as a reverse proxy and I have this: <Location /jira> ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:8080/jira ProxyPassReverse http://127.0.0.1:8080/jira </Location> Jira creates all of its links using a base url, which in this case is set to 'https://domainname.local/jira', so obviously when pages get served to the outside world they have .local on them. The question is, is there a way to have the content rewritten as it is served in order to change the .local addresses within the HTML to be the .com ones? Or am i being a retard and there is an easier way to solve this? Cheers for any help.... Andy

uh-oh windows mobile threading issues!

- by violet313

specifically WM6x, winCE5x Now my current understanding from trawling the msdn etal is that the IMAPIAdviseSink::OnNotify callback can be made from any old thread; from (ce)mapi or perhaps even from a third-party service provider. Under WM6x, i cannot seem to coax an in-thread response by invoking HrThisThreadAdviseSink, since while this function is declared in mapiutil.h, a definition appears not to exist (in cemapi.lib or wherever??) ~But i notice that all the OnNotify callbacks i get, derive from windows messages that i am receiving on my thread (=looks to me like an in-thread implementation in any case under cemapi)... So, can anyone confirm that this is infact always the case -or am i just getting lucky right now? ah, i should add that my advise source is IMAPISession::Advise (ActiveSync) erm i should also say that i might have cross-posted this on the msdn forum -but they're mostly numptys over there,,

.net Diagnostics best practices?

- by mamu

We initially didn't use any logging or debug tracing but after spending few weeks to trace down some data corruption we decided to put required Debug.Write and Trace for production and Debug.Assert So now question is What is the best practice to use debug and trace logging. I am just looking for some thing generic. public void AddRectodatabase(object record) { Debug.WriteLine(record.ToString()); Trace.WriteLine(record.ToString()); // Add it to databse Debug.Assert(true, "Use this on case by case basis"); } Is this good enough for general purpose, am i doing anything wrong in there? We want to stick with .net System.Diagnostics over other alternatives like log4net. Is there any thing else useful in System.Diagnostics?

Large number of UPDATE queries slowing down page

- by Bryan Lewis

I am reading and validating large fixed-width text files (range from 10-50K lines) that are submitted via our ASP.net website (coded in VB.Net). I do an initial scan of the file to check for basic issues (line length, etc). Then I import each row into a MS SQL table. Each DB rows basically consists of a record_ID (Primary, auto-incrementing) and about 50 varchar fields. After the insert is done, I run a validation function on the file that checks each field in each row based on a bunch of criteria (trimmed length, isnumeric, range checks, etc). If it finds an error in any field, it inserts a record into the Errors table, which has an error_ID, the record_ID and an error message. In addition, if the field fails in a particular way, I have to do a "reset" on that field. A reset might consist of blanking the entire field, or simply replacing the value with another value (e.g. replacing the string with a new one that has all illegals chars taken out). I have a 5,000 line test file. The upload, initial check, and import takes about 5-6 seconds. The detailed error check and insert into the Errors table takes about 5-8 seconds (this file has about 1200 errors in it). However, the "resets" part takes about 40-45 seconds for 750 fields that need to be reset. When I comment out the resets function (returning immediately without actually calling the UPDATE stored proc), the process is very fast. With the resets turned on, the pages take 50 seconds to return. My UPDATE stored proc is using some recommended code from http://sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html, whereby it uses CASE instead of dynamic SQL: UPDATE dbo.Records SET dbo.Records.file_ID = CASE @field_name WHEN 'file_ID' THEN @field_value ELSE file_ID END, . . (all 50 varchar field CASE statements here) . WHERE dbo.Records.record_ID = @record_ID Is there any way I can help my performance here. Can I somehow group all of these UPDATE calls into a single transaction? Should I be reworking the UPDATE query somehow? Or is it just sheer quantity of 750+ UPDATEs and things are just slow (it's a quad proc server with 8GB ram). Any suggestions appreciated.

Is there a way to determine if a <select> dropdown menu is open?

- by Robert

I'm looking for a way to determine if/when a <select> element's menu is open. I don't need to force it to open or close, just figure out if it's open or closed at a given time. I can listen to events for focus/blur, mouseup/mousedown, etc., but I don't think I can reliably figure out the state of the menu from those events. For example, mousedown followed by mouseup could mean the user clicked and dragged to a selection and released (in which case the menu is now closed) or clicked and released to open the menu (in which case the menu is open). It also seems likely that the specific behavior of dropdown menus is browser-dependent. I know I could do this if I roll my own dropdown menu, but I prefer to use <select>. Is there a reliable way to find out if a dropdown menu is open? Or is this something that Javascript can't know?
