Review: Wicked Cool Shell Scripts

Review: Wicked Cool Shell Scripts 04/22/2004 06:59 PM
Todd: "If you've fiddled with the Terminal and the command line in Mac OS X a bit, you know how many commands are available, and how much power the Unix underpinnings of Mac OS X offer. While the command line offers no GUI - no buttons or menus - you can perform powerful tasks from the Terminal, and, in many cases, do things that the GUI does not allow."

What to watch out for when writing
portable shell scripts 03/06/2004 02:04 AM
Shell scripts are a popular choice for writing small programs that do file manipulation. They are generally portable across platforms, but there are a number of things that can make a shell script work fine on one machine and fail on another. This article reviews some of the issues shell programmers may run into when trying to write widely portable scripts.

FunkDaddy: "I wanted to look at the code of an AppleScript in the Scripts Menu. Normally, I would have to do this by navigating to the script in the Finder and opening it in Script Editor. But I took a wild guess and Option-clicked on the script in the menu, and it opened in Script Editor directly! This makes tweaking my frequently-used scripts really easy."

Folder Action: MisMatch 1.2

Folder Action: MisMatch 1.2 04/14/2004 10:26 PM
Mismatch is a folder action that will search files to see if they contain the MAC.Amphimix [Symantec] virus - Also known as MP3Virus.Gen [Intego], MAC_MP3CONCEPT.A [Trend]. Mismatch will check any files, or files contained inside folders, to see if a file's name-extension corresponds to the file's file type and kind. If it does not meet this criteria, the script asks the user what they want to do - Either quarantine the file or Trash the file.

Replacing Perl Scripts with PHP Scripts

Replacing Perl Scripts with PHP Scripts 11/26/2002 05:12 AM
With the introduction of version 4.2, PHP has started supporting a new SAPI (Server Application Programming Interface) called CLI (Command Line Interface). This facility was introduced to help developers create small shell applications (scripts) with PHP. So, now you can kiss Perl goodbye forever. -- Jayesh Jain

Hear hear. Thanks to my influence, other developers at Natsoft are using PHP for their batch scripts too. Hmm maybe it is because they report to me...

macosxhints - 10.3: Use a Folder Action
script for easier zip compression 12/02/2003 01:47 AM
Anonymous: "While Panther's Finder's contextual menu allows Zip compression of files with its 'Create Archive of ...' this still requires bringing up the contextual menu, selecting the option .. and then 'cleaning up' the original file and newly created archive.zip. As Panther has the attached Folder Actions, I figured this could be used to shortcut the process and consolidate the file/archive within one place. Luckily 'Sal from Cupertino' picked up on my query in this regard, and provided the following script to compile with the AppleScript Script Editor."

Folder bot

Folder bot 07/01/2002 08:29 AM
A simple class that goes through a specified folder and lists all files, triggering a class event every time a new file has been found and a different event when a folder is found. You concentrate on what you need to do with the files. There were many dir classes out there but none which could do what I wanted, this is why I release this one. Released as sharewear (see readme file) which is my own version of freeware.

Scripts and Slashes

Scripts and Slashes 10/28/2003 11:08 PM

In an earlier blog entry, I mentioned how Safari was having to emulate a quirk in Mozilla in order to make a particular Web site work. When Mozilla encounters a <script/> element with an XML-style self-closing /, it actually closes the tag, even in HTML pages. This is - I believe - incorrect behavior, since in HTML the / is invalid and should simply be discarded, leaving you with an open tag instead.

If you try this in WinIE and Safari 1.0, you'll see that they behave identically. They both ignore the / and leave the script open. Both Mozilla and Opera, however, honor the / and close up the script tag.

With my "fix" for this bug, the latest Safari will now honor the / as well. I wonder if this behavior was deliberate on the part of Mozilla and Opera or just some accidental fallout from their XML implementations... whatever the case, we're all stuck with it now, since Web sites are (amazingly) writing to it.
