  • Writing a file shredder in python or ruby?

    - by pmilb21
    In the effort to learn python and/or ruby, I was wondering how a file shredder would be implemented? I would like it to take in a file as an argument and then employ an algorithm to make that file unrecoverable. Would possibly add the support for multiple files or even whole directories later.

  • Automatically download files in Ruby

    - by Obinna
    I'm trying to write a ruby script which automatically downloads some files from some server ever 30-45 minutes (to prevent overload) as long as my computer is turned on. It's possible that my computer might be turned off at some point, but the download should resume (probably re-download the current file). I already have the file list but I can't figure out how to make such a script to run autonomously. What are some ways I can do this?

  • Determining whether one array contains the contents of another array in ruby

    - by Andrew Grimm
    In ruby, how do I test that one array not only has the elements of another array, but contain them in that particular order? correct_combination = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] [1, 5, 8, 2, 3, 4, 5].function_name(correct_combination) # => false [8, 10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9].function_name(correct_combination) # => true I tried using include, but that is used to test whether [1,2,3].include?(2) is true or not.

  • Methods in Ruby: objects or not?

    - by Mladen Jablanovic
    Inspired by this discussion, after some googling I wasn't able to find an answer to a pretty simple question regarding methods in Ruby: are they objects or not? There are different opinions here and there, and I would really like to hear, let's say, an in-depth explanation. I'm aware of Object#method method, which takes a method name and returns a Method instance, but, on the other hand, there's a similar thing you can do with blocks to make them into Proc instances, and blocks aren't objects, so what makes methods any different?

  • Is Spring hard compared to Ruby on Rails?

    - by johnny
    If I have no to little experience in either of them, but know enough Java and Ruby to be comfortable, is one framework harder to learn than the other? Is one easier to use for the beginner on these? I know it is hard to answer. Just looking for general thoughts on it.

  • Ruby: Allowing a module to have settings

    - by JP
    If I'm building a library in ruby, what's the best way to allow users of the library to set module-wide settings that will be available to all sub classes etc of the library? A good example would be if I'm writing a library for posting to a webservice: TheService::File.upload("myfile.txt") # Uploads anonymously TheService::Settings.login("myuser","mypass") # Or any other similar way of doing this TheService::File.upload("myfile.txt") # Uploads as 'myuser' The idea would be that unless TheService::Settings.logout is called then all TheService operations would be conducted under myuser's account. Any ideas?

  • Ruby hash value truthiness and symbols

    - by John Topley
    Could somebody please explain why the variable named foo remains true in the code below, even though it's set to false when the method is called? And why the symbol version behaves as expected? def test(options = {}) foo = options[:foo] || true bar = options[:bar] || :true puts "foo is #{foo}, bar is #{bar}" end >> test(:foo => false, :bar => :false) foo is true, bar is false I've only tried this using Ruby 1.8.7.

  • Getting a substring in Ruby by x number of chars

    - by wotaskd
    I'm trying to produce some Ruby code that will take a string and return a new one, with a number x number of characters removed from its end - these can be actual letters, numbers, spaces etc. Ex: given the following string a_string = "a1wer4zx" I need a simple way to get the same string, minus - say - the 3 last digits. In the case above, that would be "a1wer". The way I'm doing it right now seems very convoluted: an_array = a_string.split(//,(a_string.length-2)) an_array.pop new_string = an_array.join Any ideas?

  • ruby sortby 3rd element in a multidimential array npot working properly

    - by Steven
    Hi, I'm using ruby to sort an array where each element in the array is another array. I have this: Data = Data.SortBy { |Info| info[3] } example data in this column: 3.1 2 5.65 -1 0.4 -9.43 -10.87 -2.3 It should sort this into: 5.65 3.1 2 0.4 -1 -2.3 -9.43 -10.87 But it comes out like this: 5.65 3.1 2 0.4 -1 -10.87 -2.3 -9.43 It's only comparing the first char of the float... not the whole number?

The scheme is something like: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'thread' def foo(&block) bar(block) end def bar(block) Thread.abort_on_exception=true @main = Thread.new { block.call } end foo { sleep 1 puts 'test' } Why if i run that i get no output? (and no sleep wait?)
